2020 Period of Review Results

by Maggie Geppert, Staff Writer

10th February 2021

Thank you to all our members who voted in the 2020 Period of Review.  Voting is now closed.  The vote this year was done through OpaVote and asked if you wish to remove each of the six current Directors form their positions.  Each Director was hoping for your vote of “no.” 

OpaVote is set up more for elections than ballot initiatives, so when you see the results referred to as “candidates,” that’s why.  The vote breakdown for each position can be found at this link, or you can see a breakdown of results below:

Thank you again to the 46.15% of members who voted this year.  This turnout is on par with last year's vote, but much lower than the Continuing Committee was hoping for. OpaVote tells us that of the 169 people who received emails, 100 unique people open them, but only 78 of those voted.  (Of those 22 who opened the email but didn't vote, two of them went to the site but didn't vote.) We would love to hear from those people as to what kept them from pulling the lever, so to speak.  Please send a PM to jadziadax8 if you want to comment.
