Hitchcock and Thomas will be filling positions previously held by retiring officers Stephen P. Oksala, vice president of standards for the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers, and Dr. Mary C. McKiel, standards executive for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The following individuals have been newly elected as “Directors-at-Large” for terms beginning January 1, 2008, and ending December 31, 2010:

Five individuals have been re-elected to the Board and will continue to serve as “Directors-at-Large” for terms beginning January 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2010:
