There were three individuals with write-in votes: Paula Hague, Lenore Smith, & Dallas Bolen. We will check with them the next time we have Board openings.

Everyone seemed to like voting online. They approved the change to paragraph 4.3 of the MHAO By-Laws as follows:

Section 4.3 Nomination, Election and Term:

Sixty (60) days prior to the annual meeting in November, the Board of Directors shall make known to the membership, by notice in the corporate publication or by other means, positions to be vacated in the coming year and request candidates for such positions. The Board shall prepare a ballot, setting forth one (1) or more candidates for each position to be vacated, along with space for write-in candidates. Such ballot bearing a unique ID number to prevent double voting shall be made available to the member in paper form and/or electronically thirty (30) days prior to the November meeting. A paper ballot shall be mailed together with a self-addressed envelope if requested of the Secretary or Membership Chair. An electronic ballot may be delivered in PDF form or via an online system. Numbered ballots may be returned by mail to the Secretary or Membership Chair, be voted on via the online system, or be brought in person to the Annual November meeting. A ballot mailed or voted on prior to the meeting may be retrieved by the member before the annual meeting is called to order and the final vote is counted.

Ballots shall be opened and/or counted by the Secretary or appointed tellers at the annual business meeting.

The following Directors are leaving our Board. We are so grateful for their service. Some will remain active as committee members.
