It is another great technology development for ACDA: the turnout for the most recent presidential election was the highest ever and Karen Fulmer was elected President.
First, congratulations to Karen.
Second, congratulations to ACDA!
Here are some of the details:
- Over 12% of active membership voted in the National election and bylaws.
- Highest percentage of voting on record. (Participation in voting is one measure of associational loyalty.)
- First time ACDA has had national election, division elections, and bylaw changes determined by online voting.
- Voting participation grew steadily throughout the month, but spiked in the last 3 days of voting.
- NO PAPER BALLOTS were requested, which is an option. No one asked for one and none were used. ACDA National, Division, and State elections are all taking place online now. One of the three bylaw changes included the wording “vote by mail” to include “voting via electronic means” for future elections.
- Continues Executive Director Tim Sharp’s initiative of using technological advancements to improve and enhance the mission and purposes of ACDA.
It is worth noting that these are the first Bylaw changes in ACDA since 2006 — another indication of change and improvement.
Our national organization is moving ahead, one step at a time.
