We are asking members to vote on one question:

Should the chapter split into two distinct chapters (Maine and New Hampshire)?

The proposed split would reorganize the Northern New England Chapter into two distinct, state-based chapters: Maine would remain as the Northern New England Chapter, while New Hampshire would form the new Granite State Chapter.

This change is designed to give each state its own dedicated leadership team, ensuring more focused educational opportunities, stronger community engagement, and a greater local presence for Sterile Processing professionals.
 

  • If approved:

    • Maine will remain the Northern New England Chapter.

    • New Hampshire will form a new chapter called the Granite State Chapter.

    • The individuals listed below will automatically become the founding board members of the Granite State Chapter.

    • The Maine board will continue as the Northern New England Chapter leadership.
       

  • If rejected:

    • Nothing changes, both states remain together under the Northern New England Chapter
