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, all of whom made compelling statements to serve the best interests of VOTF, and any of whom we would have been fortunate to have serve us.

 

We also wish to thank all of our members who took the time to review the candidates and to vote. Without you, this election could not have been possible. 

The election process was a collaborative effort by the dedicated volunteer and paid staff of the national office - and 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!

 

Warm regards,

 

Jim Walsh

Election Committee, Chairperson
