Hi folks, The elections for the 2019 Executive Council for The Carpentries have now concluded. Many thanks to everyone in The Carpentries community for standing for election, recommending candidates, and submitting ballots. We are fortunate to have so many amazing individuals representing diverse education, careers, and geography who are willing to participate in community governance!
For the community-elected positions, 981 ballots were distributed to Voting Members and 247 ballots were cast (25% turnout). The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes and joining the Executive Council for two-year terms as community-elected members were Amy Hodge and Elizabeth Wickes. The Executive Council received recommendations for seven individuals for the council-elected positions, and elected the following three members: Mesfin Diro, Juan Steyn, and Joslynn Lee. These new members join the four continuing Executive Council members: Karen Cranston, Kate Hertweck, Lex Nederbragt and Raniere Silva. Also thanks to the outgoing Executive Council members: Ethan White, Mateusz Kuzak, and Sue McClatchy. There were a lot of great write in ideas for the vision, and still no clear consensus, so the Executive Council will continue to work with the community and new Executive Council over the next few months.
