General Meeting and election process

Voting took place at our General Meeting, which happens once a year according to our Bylaws. This meeting was for Chi Hack Night Members only. At the meeting we followed this agenda. We also heard from each of the candidates running for elected or appointed seats. You can read their candidate statements here.

The votes were cast by 19 Chi Hack Night Members virtually using a digital ballot. The results were tallied by Chi Hack Night Member Joel Inwood.
