Very disappointing! I'll be doing some digging on our behalf. Julio Chair, Public Policy and Governmental Affairs Committee Sent from my iPhone Julio J. Ramirez, Ph.D. R.

I just received my ballot for SFN's annual election.

I just received my ballot for SFN's annual election.  First, I was peeved to see that the nominee bios had no substantive statements on their goals/aspirations for the organization. 

Then, when I got to councilor's, however, I was astonished to see that Eric Wiertelak was not listed as a candidate. 

What happened?  Did we not spur the write-in campaign we hoped?  Or did SFN ignore it?  Or was he immediately elected based on the write-ins?  Does anyone have any information on this?

Cheers,

Bob
