....And then came COVID-19,

It went very well, with about 70 folks signed in

May 2020

Another Zoom Meeting

Agenda

As Vice-President, Katharine Ligon chaired the meeting,

with tech help from Austin Davis Ruiz and Judson Dunn

Below, VP Katharine Ligon again led the July meeting

And, it was an eventful meeting, as nominations were taken
to replace current president Mike Webb. Webb has been
totally out of communication with the Caucus since April,
so, was removed by operation of the Bylaws clause for
resignation (by non-attendance). A successor president is
needed. Current VP Katherine Ligon and Jovon A Tyler have
been nominated, and nominations are open at the August 1
meeting, when there will be an election. It will be followed
by a PAC endorsement session, so will be a busy event.

And, it was a vigorus campaign for Caucus President...

Johnathan Ferrante Miller vs Jovon Tyler

while Johnathan did some Facebook campaigning, Jovon brought an onslought...

and a who's who of endorsements...

Jovon easily won the election. If he works as hard at the job as he did campaigning, we are in good shape.

Jovon Tyler chaired his first meeting as President, and it was a very efficient and busy meeting.

was elected by acclaimation for a Board seat, after Toni T. Mascione gave impressive redrawal
