[KFCF Friends] FFCF/KFCF Election Results

[subs at mail.kfcf.org]

Results are pasted below for those who would just as soon skip my gushing about a very successful election: 

Congratulations and many thanks to all the candidates. And a big thank
you to the members, who have just effectively tripled the membership of
the Fresno Free College Foundation by passing the bylaw question this
year. Well done.

The top four vote-getters will serve 3-year terms on the FFCF Board of Directors. The candidate pool this year was exceptional, and my personal thanks go to all of these very committed people.

The bylaw amendment passage means that all subscribers over $25 per year are now automatically members of the Fresno Free College, and are no longer required to submit applications in order to become voting members. Without pulling out the calculator, voter turnout was roughly 20 percent to 25 percent, at least double the minimum quorum and about 5 to 10 times higher than that of the average nonprofit.

Thanks again, everyone.
