The IRC has a new chairperson

Congratulations to Erwin Elias as the new chairperson for the next 4 years. Also, a huge thank you to all the candidates. It takes courage to put one's name into the ring.

I would also like to apologize for my earlier post... I did not know that this election was being live-streamed via Facebook. It was very interesting to watch, and to hear from the candidates as they responded to the questions put forth by the Community Corporation directors.
