The AMA held its Annual General Meeting. The most interesting aspect was the results of the elections.

For the Board of Directors, there were three seats open. Those elected were:

So the BOD is:

Mark Wooster
Saratoga Ballantine
Kathy Gruver
Ed Alonzo
Rick Gerber
Marcie Hume
Kenrick "Ice" McDonald,
Larry Wilmore
Christopher Grant

The officers will be announced later.

The entire Board of Trustees was up for reelection, with a few being termed out. The new BOT is:

Christopher Hart (712)
Jonathan Levit (704)
Mike Caveney (655)
Dennis Forel (610)
Dr. Dana Lebental (542)
Elizabeth Messick (520)

For an outsiders benefit, how do the results play out in light of recent drama ?

Did they swing for or against change ?

I have added the number of votes received by each board member after their names above. I will be able to publish the voting tallies in its entirety (ballots received, etc.) after the AMA publishes them first in the April AMA Newsletter.
As my friend Pete Biro used to say, Stay Tooned.
