Hi there EngSoc! I hope your midterms went well and you are feeling relaxed after your long weekend. The elections finished last week and your new Exec are:
President – Leah Allen
VP-Education – Derek Thompson
VP-External – Lisa Belbeck and Michael Seliske
VP-Internal – Angela Stewart
VP-Finance – David Birnbaum
Also, Brock Kopp was elected WEEF Director. The turnout in the presidential election was 35% – the highest turnout for an EngSoc election ever! The turnout in the VP and WEEF Director election was 29%.
Thanks to all of the candidates who ran in both of the elections – you were very professional and it was a pleasure to work with you. Special thanks also goes out to Anish Bhutani for making the two election videos, to Angelo Alaimo for taking all of the professional candidate photos and putting together the IW election inserts, to Mikayla Micomonaco for publishing my articles and the election inserts in the IW, to my polling station volunteers, and to EngSoc Office staff for helping me advertise the elections.
At the EngSoc meeting today, I will be presenting a report about the elections which will talk about things that worked well and things that didn’t. Official numbers from the election will be released as soon as possible.
Thanks to everyone who voted, and I wish the new Exec (and WEEF Director) the best of luck on their journey over the next 16 months!
