[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Important] Results 2016 NCUC Elections

[William Drake]

Hi

It’s a very impressive outcome, and the fact that we have 5 of 6 females elected at a time when there’s a debate about the shortage of women in leadership positions in other parts of the community is fortuitous.  We should be tweeting and otherwise beating our drum on this.

Thanks to all who made the effort to stand for election, and to all who voted, and supported the bylaws rewrite.  We are definitely moving uphill…

Cheers

Bill
