Jimmie Byrd, chair of the Nominations Committee and current Secretary of the Institute, confirmed the results of voting which was conducted both online and by paper ballot for those who requested to use that method. More than 20 percent of eligible members participated in the process, a greater turnout than in many national elections.
Work is ramping up on the nominations process for the 2016 cycle. The committee shall offer nominees for the six terms on the Board of Directors which will end June 20, 2016. No officer positions are ending in this cycle, so nominations are being accepted only for the six directors.
