Congratulations to all of the newly elected SHPE representatives! And thank you to everyone who made the effort to run and took the time to vote.

You will see below that there were several races where the candidates did not meet the requirements to win. In accordance with SHPE Bylaws and National Elections Policy, winners are those who meet these requirements:

1. Must receive the most votes, and,
2. Must receive 5% or more of the eligible votes for their race.

Any races not meeting these requirements or ending in a tie are declared invalid and the position will remain vacant until filled through appointment by the National Board of Directors.

Races that ended without any nominees (marked as "VACANT" below) will also be filled through appointment by the Board.

Congratulations again to all of the winners! Your term begins on July 1, 2024.

Thank you to everyone who participated in one way or another in the election, including all who voted. We want to again thank the candidates for all their time, effort, and dedication, as well as, the Elections Sub-Committee (Will Davis, Karen Santos, Ashleigh Tierney, and Anna Patrick) for managing this important process. And to all those with terms ending on June 30, we're grateful to you for your service to SHPE.

We encourage everyone to stay active as we work together towards SHPE becoming the most valued organization serving Hispanics in STEM.

Regards,

Will Davis

Board Chair
