Rabbi Sholom Ber Levitin
The last time there were new members elected to the board of Merkos was in the summer of 2004. At that time Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan, head Shliach in Maryland and Rabbi Zev Katz, Gabbai of 770 were the two new members.
The need for new members comes after the passing in recent years of Rabbi Berel Junik and Rabbi Sholom Marazov who were both on the board.

Sources say that board members had also wanted to elect Rabbi Chaim Shaul Brook of Lahak, but he turned down the offer citing a possible conflict of interest with his work.

I think it has more to do with Yisroel Deren’s recent resgination, than with the passing of Rabbiz Junik and Marsow.

Levitin was now elected beacuase Rabbi Drern resigned recently
