Nominations and Elections Committee Report
The Nominations and Election Committee was composed of Brenna Louzin, Robyn Hagle and Richard Jost, Chair. The committee was pleased to submit to the LLOPS Executive Board and LLOPS membership two outstanding candidates for the open positions: Jennifer Hill (Keller Rohrback) agreed to serve as the new Vice-President/President-elect and Stephanie Wilson (Seattle University Law Library) agreed to serve as the new Treasurer.
As in past years, the membership voted by electronic ballot. Rick Stroup (King County Law Library) graciously volunteered his services to set up the ballot for voting and tabulate the results. The election for new officers opened on May 1 and closed on May 27. In addition to the LLOPS listserv announcement at the beginning of May that voting had opened, a reminder email was sent to the listserv in mid-May to encourage members that had not voted yet to participate.
A total of 64 members voted during the voting period of May 1 – May 27. New officers Jennifer Hill and Stephanie Wilson assumed their duties at the June 29, 2011 LLOPS business meeting. An announcement of the election results was sent out to the LLOPS listserv immediately after the June business meeting and AALL was notified of the election results.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard Jost
