Thank you for your participation. 278 members voted, or about 20% of our membership. The winning candidates met the By-Laws requirement of receiving votes from at least 50% of the ballots cast, receiving between 65% and 88% of the ballots cast.

The Board would like to express its deep appreciation to outgoing Board Members Karen Davis, Art Benjamin, Rich Munitz, and Neil Kazaross for serving on the Board for three consecutive, three-year terms. Collectively they have served the organization in many leadership roles. It is only with their support and guidance that the USBGF exists today.
