Jim Wallace was elected as the 76th Director yesterday. His closest competitor was Joel Friedman who was the “official” candidate of leadership. This is further shows that reformers are gaining in strength as they coalesced to support Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By my count, a total of 740 votes were cast or approximately 1% of the total number who voted in the 2024 Board election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe results of the in-person balloting have been received from our election auditing firm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another interesting development that I learned of this morning, Carl Rowan, Jr. resigned from the Board. His position will be filled by Joel Friedman who was the first runner-up in the 2024 Board election<\/a><\/strong>. Since the resignation came after the Meeting of Members, Friedman will only serve until the next Annual Meeting.<\/p>\n
