They will take their seats on the Board of Directors August 6th Zoom meeting.
Also, please thank the other two candidates for throwing their hats into the ring. Jack Green and Greg Vargas - both are highly qualified and are to be applauded for their devotion to CORSA's mission and management.
A total of 525 votes were cast. 217 in the Eastern Division. 227 in the Central Division. 81 in the Western Division.
Of the 525, 420 were cast online using the CORSA website. 105 votes were cast via U.S. Postal on the paper ballot forms printed in the Communique.
In years past, several members voted across Division lines, not only for candidates in their own Division, but also for candidates in the other two Divisions. This year, there were only 9 such cases and, because the number was low, it was easy to identify their respective Divisions and count their votes appropriately.
