Spring brings us flowers and the excitement of summer vacation! Spring also brought us the re-election of many of our FA officers, Executive Council representatives, NYSUT and AFT delegates as well as a new at-large officer, a new delegate and some new Executive Council representatives.

Dante Morelli has been an EC representative since 2012. He will now be our new grievance officer. We are saying good bye to Pete DiGregorio as grievance officer but hello to him as our new NYSUT and AFT delegate.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michelle Fowler and Leslie Derenfeld for serving as EC reps over the past few years.

I would also like to thank the following FA members who volunteered to count the ballots:

• Doug Cody, Chair
• Marshal Stein, Co-Chair
• Audrey DeLong
• Laura Galletta
• Marcial Gallimore
• Deborah Kiesel
• Andrew Stone
• Rebecca Turner Wallace
  

Here are some basic facts about the election results:

• Ballots mailed: 1,747
• Ballots received: 304
• There were 463 sent to F/T members and 1,284 sent to adjunct members.
• Valid ballots received were 289; 15 were invalid.
• Approximately 25% of full-time members and 10% of adjunct members voted.
• 239 members approved the proposed amendments to the Constitution & Bylaws. 15 members did not approve these changes.

Below are this spring's election results. Please join me in extending congratulations!
