Re: Election of SIA Board of Directors for 2018
At the SIA Annual Meeting on November 18, 2017, the following SIA Board Directors were elected for 2018:
Mary Beasman
Dave Courage
Craig Colligan
Walter Garrard
Bart Heikes
The newly elected SIA Inc. Board of Directors met at the home of David Courage following the annual meeting on November 18, 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to elect Board officers for the coming year. Dave Courage nominated Walter Garrard as President for another term. Those presents approved this nomination in a unanimous vote of support.
With Walter elected President of the Board, this opens a vacancy for a required fifth member of the Board. Unlike the nominating process and election process each fall, when filling a vacancy on the Board, only the current Board Directors participate in this process per the SIA By-laws, Article IV, Section I as follows:
In the event of a vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason whatsoever, the remaining directors shall appoint a member to serve as director for the unexpired term.
The newly elected 2018 SIA Board of Directors and Walter, as President and Ex-Officio Chairman of the Board, will meet in Executive Session at a later date to fill the current opening on the Board.
Sincerely,
SIA 2018 Board of Directors
