International Officers elected were: President-Hope Markes, Jamaica; President-Elect Cathy Szymanski, Pa. (U.S.), and Vice President-Toto Gonzales, Philippines.
An amendment to allow remote voting was withdrawn by the Capital District for lack of Asian-Pacific support, and two other amendments were not approved by the delegation.
