Hey everyone, I got confirmation from founder Kimmy Jigsaw, and as far as anyone can tell or remember this current board is in fact the very first ALL FEMALE SLSA board! So congratulations to Bobbi and Colleen for joining us and making it happen! 😀
The five members of the election panel for the March 1st election have each now received and counted all submitted votes. All officers have the exact same tally.
This election had a great turn out with 44 voters casting their vote. The final tallies for the 4 candidates were:-
Colleen Brennan 32
Bobbi Laval 24
Desirae Beaumont 22
Sexyboy Oh 10
As a result we welcome Colleen Brennan and Bobbi Laval to the SLSA board, they join Ashleigh Dickins, Giavannamarie Melody and Sally LaSalle as you current board members. \e/
We would also like to express the thanks of the SLSA to the other candidates that were oh so close Desirae Beaumont and SexyBoy Oh for volunteering their time to the association. \e/
In addition we would like to thank most sincerely Abel Halderman for his service to the SLSA as director for the past 12 months. We would also like to thank Desirae Beaumont for her 6 month service as director. Both these directors made significant contributions to the development and operation of the SLSA, and on behalf of all members that have enjoyed or will enjoy past and future surfing competitions, guys please accept our most heart felt thanks. \e/
In other SLSA news, we will be holding a fundraising event March 5, 2010 at Archipelago! The wonderful CharlieO Michigan will be joining us again performing at 4pm SLT. Stay tuned to the SLSA website and group for more information on the fundraising event and all things SLSA!
We’ll be announcing new directors soon! Thank you for exercising your right to vote those of you who did. Those who did not… well… 😛 PPPLLBBBBBBBBBHHH! on you! *nods*
Please notice there are only 12 hours remaining in today’s election. Votes must be received by midnight SLT. See previous post for information.
Today, March 1st, is a board election day. There are 2 seats open, and 4 candidates. You may read more about them on the forums. You are eligible to vote in this election if you have competed or volunteered in at least 1 of the last surf events (note: each location counts as one event. ie. Mori Pwani Pro & Mori Pwani Invitational are one event, not two.) or are in the Hall of Fame. Please cast your vote for no more, or no less than 2 of the candidates by writing your name and their name on a notecard and sending it to all of the following: Abel Halderman, Ashleigh Dickins, GiavannaMarie Melody, Sally LaSalle & VW Sands (chosen to replace current director and candidate Desirae on the panel.)

It’s long after December 1st, yes I know, but with the season winding down and the holidays upon us we’ve all been so busy! The December 1st election sees Ashleigh Dickins (hey that’s me!), GiavannaMarie Melody and Sally LaSalle joining Abel Halderman and Desirae Beaumont on the board. Sally LaSalle had been serving as an interim director after Robin Mapp left the board in October, 2009; and prior to that had served two consecutive six month terms from June 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009. Ashleigh Dickins prior served a six month term from June 1, 2008 through December 1, 2008 and returns for another six month term. This is GiavannaMarie Melody’s first term on the board. In addition to Robin Mapp the Board also says “So Long (and thanks for all the fish!)” to Bonheur Chenaux and WickedV Carver. Thanks for the great work guys!
On June 1, 2009, SLSA held an election for three open spots on the SLSA Board of Directors. Six candidates signed up for the election and 41 SLSA eligible voters participated in the vote. The newly elected directors are: WickedV Carver, Bonheur Chenaux and Robin Mapp. They replace retiring Sally LaSalle, Colleen Brennan and Robbin Ember on the Board, and join VW Sands and Abel Halderman for a full 6 month director SLSA Board term.
Congratulations and thanks!
