The elected members of the Board are:

  • Michael Chladek (incumbent) - 22 votes ☑️
  • Kyle Dolezal - 21 votes ☑️
  • Sean Watland (incumbent) - 22 votes ☑️

The appointed Board member approved by the Membership is:

General Meeting and election process

Voting took place at our Member Meeting, which happens once a year in February. President Sean Watland and Treasurer Michael Chladek presented our 2023 Year in Review and reviewed our organizational finances. We then heard from each of the candidates running for elected or appointed seats. You can read their candidate statements here.

Thank you to outgoing Board Members!

Two Board Members, Laurie Merrell and Eric Sherman did not run for re-election this cycle and have concluded their term on our Board of Directors. A HUGE thank you to both of you for all you have done for our organization and community!

Thank you outgoing Board Members Laurie Merrell and Eric Sherman!
