<div><p class="MsoNormal">Good evening all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">First, thank you Tony F. for starting this thread as it is great to see interest in the process. As a point of information, the Board did indeed discuss the status of the elections at the December 2018 meeting, as clearly reflected in
the minutes. This was done for two reasons. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">1. To verify that everything was up and running properly, and<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">2. To encourage as much of the membership as possible to cast their vote.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">The DVP’s were encouraged to reach out to their local members to vote, which you still can do for the next week or so. Please, encourage all who have not voted to please do so for whomever they like. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">It’s great to see such passion about the process. It’s also helpful to stick to what we know to be true and factual. There is
<strong>not</strong> a requirement (implied or otherwise) for a veil of secrecy in the process. Any suggestion otherwise is simply incorrect. Also, there was no advocating one candidate over another. There was however, excitement in people participating in
the electronic ballot process. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">Here’s the good news. If you feel strongly enough to change the voting process, you have that power and can submit that request to modify the bylaws as a member. You also have to opportunity to whip votes for the Candidate of your choosing
until voting closes on December 31, with an electronic vote, or a written ballot for an additional 10 calendar days per the bylaws. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><br>
So, tell all your friends that time is running short to let your voice be heard. Go online now and cast your vote (
