Dear Member:
Given that the only contested position on the ballot is that of President, the Board of Directors passed a motion on September 26, 2024, to have members vote only for President in the USA Dance 2024 National Elections. On behalf of the Nominations & Elections Committee, please join me in extending congratulations and welcome to:
· President: Chuck Garrett
Thank you to Chuck Garrett’s fellow candidates for President Ken Richards and Aleh Kulyba for their time, interest, and willingness to serve USA Dance.
Please see the certified election report at the USA Dance 2024 National Election Results Landing Page – – https://usadance.org/electionresults2024

Accordingly, I provided official notice to the USA Dance Executive Committee on November 5, 2024, for the following uncontested candidates to be elected as a National Officer or DanceSport Delegate. On behalf of the Nominations & Elections Committee, please join me in extending congratulations and welcome to:
· Secretary: Lee Oswalt

· Vice President for DanceSport Ballroom Division: Daphna Locker
· DanceSport Ballroom Athlete Delegate 1: Daniel O’Connell
These National Officers and DanceSport Delegate will begin or continue service to USA Dance for a four-year term of office, from January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2028.
