We
wish to thank all of the candidates who accepted their nomination to run as an
officer of Voice of the Faithful, Inc. We were blessed to have an outstanding group
of candidates, all of whom made compelling statements to serve the best
interests of VOTF, and any of whom we would have been fortunate to have serve
us.
We
also wish to thank all of our members who took the time to review the
candidates and to vote. Without you, this election could not have been
possible.
The
election process was a collaborative effort by the dedicated volunteer and paid
staff of the national office - and particularly our Web Manager Eileen Powers
Hespeler - the Nominating Committee, and the Election Committee. The processes
we developed should serve VOTF well in future elections.
Thanks
again to everyone who made this election such a success.
Best
wishes for a blessed and joyous New Year!
Warm
regards,
Jim
Walsh
Election
Committee, Chairperson
