Etchells IGC election results

published 12/19/2014


426 ballots were emailed out and notices were posted with links to the ballot on the class website and Facebook page. 300 valid ballots were returned.  Note that this is a great increase when compared with a return in 2012 of only 194 ballots.
 

 

 

The top ten vote recipients for election to the IGC for the two year term 2015-2016 were:

•         Senet Bischoff (USA)
•         Shannon Bush (USA)
•         Argyle Campbell (USA)
•         David Clark (AUS)
•         Gary Gilbert (USA)
•         Dirk Kneulman (CAN)
•         Anatole Masfen (NZL)
•         Peter McNeill (AUS)
•         Noel Paterson (AUS)
•         Phil Smidmore (AUS)
 
Congratulations to each of the above on their election as a Class Governor for the next two years. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the three candidates who were nominated but who were unsuccessful in what was a very close ballot. We would also like to acknowledge the contributions made by outgoing governors Chris Busch, Wade Edwards, Jake Gunther, David Healey, Tim Patton, and David Ritchard.
 
As our association rules outline, it is now time for the Australian and US associations to appoint an additional two members each to bring the total voting membership of the IGC to 14.  Once the final 14 have been determined, the election of the new Chairman and other office bearers will need to take place.
