TWHBEA Elects 30 New Directors; 2 More to be Determined in Runoff
The TWHBEA Election Committee met yesterday with the accounting firm Winnett Associates PLLC and certified the results of this year’s election. 14 States/Regions elected directors to full three-year terms, with Kentucky and Washington also electing directors for partial terms.
Both of the partial-term seats are headed to a runoff election. In Kentucky, eligible voters will choose between Leslie Perry Collins and Joe Fraley to fill the unexpired one-year term of Spencer Benedict, who resigned earlier this year. Eligible voters in Washington will choose between Jo Cheek and Kathy Gilliam-Cole to fill the unexpired two-year term of Linda Arnold following her resignation earlier this year. Eligible voters in both States will be sent a ballot next week and must return it by November 10. Those who have opted in for electronic voting will receive theirs via email; all others will be mailed.
