Click on each person to see biographical information and their answers to questions about what they can offer ACES and what their ideas are for the future of the organization. All information, including photographs, was provided by the candidates. Some candidates nominated themselves; some were nominated by other ACES members.

The term for each position is two years. Winners take their seats on May 17, 2010.
