At long last, at the end of a very long year—delayed from spring to fall semester by a global pandemic—we have the results of our spring 2020 elections certified.

On November 6, members of the FA elections committee met on campus in a socially distanced fashion to count ballots in four contested races: Kerry Carlson, Joan Cook, myself, Laura Galletta, Dan Lauterman, Andrew Stone, LB Thompson and Becky Turner. Thank you, ballot counters!

On November 12, the Executive Council reviewed the election results and voted unanimously to certify them.

Please join us in welcoming six new EC reps and congratulating nine continuing EC reps as we enter 2021 with a strong FA leadership team.
