SWAN Board Members:

The election process concluded last Friday as of 5pm. The three candidates that were on the slate have all been contacted as of today. This election was very close, the closest I have dealt with since arriving at SWAN in 2008.

David Seleb was elected from a total of 44 cast votes. I spoke with Anne Kozak this afternoon and she of course is disappointed, but wanted to make sure that her involvement in the Ambassador Program could continue. I assured her that she indeed can continue as a co-chair with Jim, noting that Jeannie Dilger continued on in her co-chair responsibility with the ILS Committee after she left the SWAN Board.

I also contacted Tammy Clausen from Berwyn and thanked her for putting her self-nomination forward.

The board seat David was elected to starts in July, which is always a tough month due to summer vacations scheduled, so he is not able to attend until the August meeting.

I will add David to the SWAN Board email list at some point after the quarterly meeting.

Anne, since you are on this list I would like to personally thank you and am grateful I had the opportunity to work with you on the SWAN Board. I would encourage you to put your name forward next year for the positions that will be opening up.

Have a great weekend,

Aaron
