The FY2022 election results were finalized at our October 5 FOSM General Zoom Meeting.

A 'no response' by members was considered a vote 'FOR' all candidates on the ballot. 

During September, a few ballots were received by postal mail or by email, all of them voting for the candidates as listed. 

There were no write-in candidates.

All meeting participants approved the candidates by acclimation.

We thank this year's Nominating Committee of Sam Beard(Chair), Eric Russell, Sim Cook and Byron Garner.
