>From TagNet 1) NSS election results By: Cheryl Jones (Mclean, Virginia) cheryl.ca...@verizon.net
[Re-posted from CaveChat. Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen that the info has been circulated. BTW, I heard from Allan that about 2090 ballots were cast, which is just a bit shy of last year's 2139. ] All, Here are the results of the 2012 NSS Director Election. Many thanks to all candidates who ran in the election. I have received many complements on the quality of the slate of candidates and their platforms. Congratulations to the five winners who will take a seat on the BOG on Monday, June 25, 2012 at our summer NSS Convention. It is my understanding that there is a sixth Director vacancy which occurred during the course of the election. According to the NSS By-laws this vacancy will be filled at the next meeting of the BOG which will occur on the Monday of our summer convention in Lewisburg, WV. The numbers given below may change very slightly over the next few weeks as some paper ballots postmarked by the May 1st deadline arrive. However, there are not enough paper ballots out there to make a difference in the final outcome of the election. Votes Received 1189 Carol Tiderman (2012-2015 Term) 977 Margot Geisler (2012-2015 Term) 971 Dick Mitchell (2012-2015 Term) 939 Mike Crockett (2012-2015 Term) 843 Peri Frantz (filling vacancy in 2011-2014 Term) 692 Jay Balakirsky 671 Walter Pickel 667 Gary Gibula 657 Robert David 'RD' Milhollin 614 Herman Miller 534 Buford Pruitt 37 Write-ins Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail with questions or comments.
