First, many thanks to the 13 individuals who threw their hats in the ring this year. Our organization only grows because of the work of hundreds of volunteers, and the current board really appreciates your willingness to be at the forefront of those efforts.
Also, the board would like to thank our election committee members: Basmah Rahman, Diego Davila, and Lucas Grzybowski for their assistance.
The top four candidates will begin a 3 year term that starts on January 1, 2014.
This years election had 991 out of a possible 3,572. That equates to a 27.7% participation rate, which is just below last year's of 28.2%.
Additionally, the current board would like to thank and recognize our outgoing board members:
Abram Goldman-Armstrong
Bruce 'Obi' Eaton
Stephan 'Stephanzy' Lewis
Your contributions during your tenure have helped to shape what the 107ist is today, and what it will be tomorrow. Heartfelt thanks, and best wishes in the future.
