STC is pleased to announce the results of its 2010 election. Winning candidates are pictured below.
Online voting concluded at noon U.S. Eastern time on 8 April 2010. Paper ballots had to be received by that date to be counted as valid votes. Of 5,226 eligible voters, 729 (13.95 percent) cast ballots.
STC’s bylaws, adopted by the membership in August 2007, no longer require the officers in STC’s presidential chain of succession—the incoming president and incoming first vice president—to stand for election. Therefore, incoming President Michael A. Hughes and incoming Vice President Hillary Hart did not appear on the ballot this year.
Congratulations to the winners, and a special thanks to all candidates for their dedication to STC and their willingness to devote their time and energy to improving the Society.
