Governor's Report

At the annual business meeting of the MAA on January 7, 2017, the MAA membership adopted a new leadership structure and updated its bylaws.  As a result of the new structure, the position of Sectional Governor was eliminated and was replaced by Section Representative. The last report of the Seaway Governor was submitted at the Spring 2017 Seaway Meeting (Seaway Current, Vol. 41, No. 1).
