Annual committee elections were held during the March 16 Annual General Meeting. The results of the elections are below. All candidates are listed, with those elected or acclaimed clearly marked. New committee members will begin their term on April 1.
There was a discrepancy between the number of Unit 2 members signed in and the number of Unit 2 specific ballots cast. This discrepancy could not affect the outcome of any race except Postings Officers. We are pursuing a solution; if none can be found, the Postings Officers may need to be elected at the next GMM. Please contact your unit’s Vice-President should you have any concerns or suggestions surrounding this discrepancy or the committee elections process generally.
