II. Election of Chair and Secretary Pro Tem


A. Election of Chair Pro Tem: Edwards-Tiekert nominated Wilkinson.
Coleman nominated Reiter.

Heather Gray closed nominations. Candidates made short statements.
Volunteer tellers distributed and collected ballots from all 21 members
present.


Detail: Gray's initial instructions were to put names on ballot and check
whether you wanted them as first or second, but procedure was corrected to
have candidates' names written on ballots so that a member's handwriting
would not void the secrecy of their ballot (Casenave), and the wording was
corrected to indicate that voters could vote for either, neither or both
candidates (Roberts). Second place votes matter if there's a tie (Reiter).
Further, if a tie resulted after counting second-place votes, straws would
be drawn (Edwards-Tiekert).

The tellers announced a count of 12 for Wilkinson, 9 for Reiter.
Wilkinson assumed the chair.


B. Election of Secretary Pro Tem: Lamb nominated Uzzell; Diaz nominated
Roberts.
Roberts declined the nomination. Casenave offered to serve as Recording
Secretary.
Diaz nominates Casenave; Casenave declines.
Roberts accepted the nomination working with Casenave. Name on ballot will
be Roberts.
Chair closed nominations.


Kobren wrote candidate names on ballots and distributed to 21
directors present. Volunteer tellers collected ballots and announced
a count of 10 for Uzzell and 11 for Roberts. Roberts was declared
elected.
