Board of Directors for 2014

Election of the Board

The Bylaws direct that SOFNA shall be governed by an elected Board of Directors. The Board shall consist of seven to eleven directors, including officers.

The 2014 Board met for the first time on 08 January of 2014 and will serve the entire 2014 calendar year.

The Ninth election for the SOFNA Board was held in September 2013 in conjunction with the annual Ice Cream Social, hosted by Debra Benovitz. The polls were open from 2 PM until 5:00 PM, but absentee ballots were accepted in advance of the meeting.

Election results (in order of vote count -- highest to lowest)

• Roland Schulz -- Douglane Avenue
• Cindy Baldanzi -- Harold Avenue
• John Shores -- Tyler Avenue
• Anne Lino -- Tyler Avenue
• Keith Bowman -- Tyler Avenue
• Mike O'Halloran -- Cecil Avenue
• Debbie Benovitz -- Douglane Avenue
• Royanna Gazlay -- Bel Ayre Drive
• Bob Linn -- Harold Avenue
• Tracie Johnson -- BelAyre Avenue
• David Stealey -- Dorcich Avenue
• Michelle Purviance -- Cypress Avenue

According to the SOFNA Bylaws, the Board consists of the 11 candidates receiving the most votes.

Next we verified with each candidate if she or he was willing to serve, as not all of the write-in candidates knew that their name was being promoted. After removing any "declines" from the initial list, we had a final list of 11 who agreed to serve.

Congratulations to the 2014 Board!
