I am the secretary-elect for SFWA

Sat

Apr '08

The election results were announced today at the business meeting.

President: Russell Davis
VP: Elizabeth Moon
Secretary: Mary Robinette Kowal
Treasurer: Amy Casil
Eastern Regional: Bud Sparhawk
Overseas Regional Directon: Ian Whates

Because the current secretary, Alma Alexander, couldn’t be here, I dived right in by taking minutes of the meeting. Fortunately, I don’t have any official duties until July 1, which will give me time to get the volunteer coordination organized so I can hand it off to someone else.

Congrats! A good slate, all around.

(Here’s your Official bottle of Tylenol, and your Also-Official bottle of hootch….)

Thank you! The official bottle of hootch will be much needed, I am sure.

Congratulations! I saw Scalzi posted this news and was waiting for you to mention it. Way to dive right into it. makes the expensive hotel room with the lousy wifi seem more worth it, I’m sure.

Thank you!

The hotel gave me a wifi signal booster, which is making things much better.

Thank you! Given how much ground gets covered in the business meeting, my fingers may wear out taking notes.

Congratulations, and hooray!

Given these results, I may join up this year. I’ve only got two qualifying sales, so my joining wouldn’t have let me vote. I figured I’d wait to see how this election went.

I encourage you to do so. SFWA gets a lot of good work done for writers.

Well deserved?! I had no idea you were such a cruel man.

Seriously though, I am excited to be a member of the new board.

Congratulations! 79% of the vote and no write-ins! The SFWA has spoken, and they want YOU!

Based on what you said you wanted to accomplish, I imagine you’ll be quite busy (wait; you already were), but I hope you have an enjoyable and successful tenure!

Thanks! Yes there will be some life adjustment going on, for certain.
