We had a fantastic in person turnout at last night's Annual Meeting--156 people signed in, and who knows how many joined after the sign-in sheets filled up!
We appreciate everyone’s patience, as more neighbors attended than we had capacity for. Without the benefit of a microphone, we were grateful to members for keeping the volume low enough for the speakers to be heard. This year, we also engaged a parliamentarian to facilitate the meeting, which brought structure and benefits we hope to continue. Using ballots for the floor vote was a new experience for us. While we recognize areas for improvement, we plan to refine the process and use ballots again next year. As presented during the meeting, many votes were proxied to others prior to the floor vote: Director & Budget CRC Vote Votes Proxied to SCA Board 265 205 Votes Proxied to C. Bofferding 41 38 Votes Proxied to F. Brito 4 4 Votes Proxied to B. Zhang/C. Lee 7 6 Votes Proxied to Others 2 1 In addition to the five Director candidates recommended by the Board (Lawrence Chiu, Nikhil Gore, Jiawei Gu, Fred Huang, and Lisa Young), six members were nominated from the floor: Charles Bofferding, Francis Brito, Christina Lee, Yue Zhao, Benson Zhang, and Reza Zinati. Volunteers from the audience formed a Tellers Committee, consisting of Gary Albert, Bonny Ghosal, Judy Guzak, Kristen Iversen (SCA Secretary), and Marie Vieth (SCA Treasurer). The committee validated and tabulated the ballots, and the results are as follows:
