CEAL election in 2005 is going to elect six new committee chairs and two member-at -large. Nomination committees (Bob Felsing; chair, Sharon Domior, and Wooseob Jeong) were selected in November and now preparing for the election. CJM will send a recommendation for CJM chair in January.

3.   Coordination with NCC

As always CJM stayed in close communication with NCC in its planning for the 2004 CJM annual session. This practice not only helped avoid redundant contents but also enabled us to make both programs complement each other. CJM continues to seek to maintain a good working relationship with NCC.
