We
wish to thank all of the candidates who accepted their
nomination to run as an officer of Voice of the Faithful,
Inc. We were blessed to have an outstanding group of
candidates, any one of whom would have served the organization
well as an officer.
We
also wish to thank all of our members who took the time
to review the candidates and to vote.
The
election process was a collaborative effort by a dedicated
volunteer and paid staff of the national office, particularly
our Web Manager Eileen Powers Hespeler, the Nominating
Committee, and the Election Committee. The processes
we developed should serve VOTF well in future elections.
Thanks
again to everyone who made this election such a success.
Best wishes for a blessed and joyous New Year!
