We have two new people and three returning members running for the Board this year. Our bylaws provide for up to five members plus the chapter officers. This will be the first time in several years we have had the full compliment serving on the Board. Members are encouraged to return their ballots as soon as possible.

	Karen Keller for Board Member Karen has been a member of the Humanists of Utah for the past few years. She enjoys the community of thinkers and finds the organization refreshing and definitely "outside the Utah box." She believes that we are all responsible for making informed choices and contributing to society and that a secular voice is an integral part of the community discussion. Karen received her MSPH from the University of Utah and currently works as an environmental scientist. During her free time, she enjoys reading, hiking, skiing, camping, exploring art galleries, films, and cooking.
	Julie Mayhew for Board Member Julie is running for her third term on the board. During her tenure she has worked diligently on Darwin Day and Thomas Paine Day celebrations. She also has made contact with SHIFT, the university group of free thinkers.
	Lisa Miller for Board Member Lisa has had a lifelong interest in and concern with human rights issues as well as a fascination with the world at large. Though it wasn't until her recent departure from the Mormon church that she figured out she's at core a (proud) Secular Humanist. She is very happy to have found the wonderful fellow Utah Humanists to associate, converse, and evolve with. Lisa graduated from BYU in electrical engineering and works as a software engineer. Outside work she's in a "why things are" phase, reading more hungrily than ever before (and adding 5 books to her list for every 1 book she reads).
	Craig Wilkinson, MD for Board Member Craig ran for the board two years ago as a write in candidate. He has contributed to Darwin Day and has been organizing and running the Discussion Group for the past two years.
	Wayne Wilson for Board Member Wayne has been on the board since 1992. He serves as editor and publisher of the Utah Humanist and as webmaster for our website.
