2023 BOD Election Results

Welcome newcomers Naama Brenner-Abramovitch, Casey Fritz

All of the above will be joining Alina Bekkerman, David Hott, Jessica Robinson, Julia Au and Randy Russell whose terms end next year.
The new board will be seated at the January 2024 Board Meeting.
2023 Bylaws Available Soon
The Board is working on NCRA’s 2023 restated Bylaws – 5 pages, which will replace the 2019 Bylaws – 31 pages. This set is a simpler, more generic version that is in sync with the State of California non-profits requirements.
The 2023 Bylaws are part of our effort to bring NCRA more up to date. The Board was assisted in this effort by Alcorn Law of Citrus Heights.
The new Bylaws will be ready for member review in early 2024. A 2/3 majority of the membership is required for approval.
Questions are welcome via the website contact page.
