Hear Ye, Hear Ye, The Polls Are Now Open!



Starting this morning, all GBTA members will have the opportunity to cast their ballot.  On the ballot, there are three contested races.  They are, noted in alphabetical order:
1 – Vice President of GBTA – Jeremy Gardner and Mark Ziegler
2 – Allied members will vote for one of three candidates for GBTA Board Member – Billy Boss, Kelly Christner and Dick Nabors
3 – To pass or not to pass the bylaw amendments.  – Yes or No

There is also two uncontested races.  They are:
1 – President GBTA – Christle Johnson
2 – Direct Member at Large – Cindy Shumate, Bhart Sarin and Karin Thompson

You have 10 days to cast your vote.  10 days to let your voice be heard.  10 days to help shape the direction of GBTA.  Each of the elected officials will speak with your voice within the Board Room.  Like I tell everyone about any election, if you don’t vote, don’t complain!  If you complain long enough, you just might run…like I did! 

If you are GBTA member and you did not receive your voting information, please call Election Services Corporation at 1-866-720-4357 between 9a-5p eastern.  You can also send an email to GBTAhelp@electionservicescorp.com.  

With one year left of my term, I keep going and looking forward to welcoming the new members of the board to be with me! If you did not receive you ballot, please contact



PS - Not that anyone has asked, and probably no one cares, but in the contested races, I will be voting for Mark Ziegler and yes on the by-laws.  (Note, I cannot vote in the allied election, so best of luck to all three.)

  1. Rita, question on the by-laws - do you know why opted to have all or nothing for all the changes? I do not agree with two items in there, which means I am voting no for all of them. -Yasuo Sonoda
