USBC: 3 BOARD SLOTS, 1 BYLAW TO BE VOTED UPON

The United States Bowling Congress Nominating Committee has slated four candidates for election to the USBC Board of Directors, and delegates also will vote on one legislative proposal at the 2024 USBC Convention and Annual Meeting, set for April 22-25 at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Delegates will vote to fill three open positions on the USBC board. Incumbents Dennis Hacker and Chrissy Lee are among the four slated, and Hacker currently serves as USBC vice president. The USBC board conducted officer elections in January and Hacker was elected USBC president by acclamation, effective Aug. 1, pending his reelection.

Mike Cannington, the director of marketing for Bowland and HeadPinz entertainment centers in Florida, was elected to serve as USBC vice president, also effective Aug. 1..

The nominating committee, which may slate up to two candidates for each opening, set a slate of four candidates: Tyler Chatham, Hartford, Connecticut; Hacker, Longtown, Missouri; Lee, Tampa, Florida; and Matthew Voltz, Fargo, North Dakota.

Delegates also will vote on a bylaws proposal from the field to make the payment of USBC state association dues optional. The proposal requires a two-thirds majority vote for adoption.
