SEATA Election Results
Runoff Election for Treasurer

The SEATA Election Committee announces the results of the 2008 SEATA Officer Election.  Thank you to those members that took the time to cast your ballot.  Of the 3,565 eligible SEATA voters, there were only 313 valid ballots cast.  Congratulations to MaryBeth Horodyski and R.T. Floyd for being re-elected to SEATA President and District Director, respectively.

According to SEATA By-Laws, officer elections require a majority popular vote.  No candidate for SEATA Treasurer received a majority of the votes and a runoff election is necessary between Jim Mackie and Gerard White.  The runoff election will begin on Friday, October 24 and run until midnight EST Friday, November 7, 2008.  We will again utilize an electronic ballot and members have the opportunity to print the ballot and mail it to our accountant.  To view candidate bios, obtain a printable ballot, or link to the voting webpage, go to www.seata.org/elec08b.htm.
