[HOT] HOT Annual General Meeting Elections Results

[Chad Blevins]

Hello everyone,



My name is Chad Blevins and today I was elected as the new Voting Member
Chairperson for HOT taking over from Matt Gibb. A big shout out to Matt for
his past two years in this position and he can rest assured that I will be
calling for advice. I’ve been a long-time supporter of HOT and have had the
pleasure of working with many of you through the years and I’m excited at
the opportunity to meet and work with more of you over the next 12 months.
This is my first time serving a formal position within HOT and I have much
to learn and appreciate your patience as I discover my new role.



Today at HOT's Annual General Meeting the HOT Voting Membership elected 5
members to the Board of Directors, approved 4 amendments to the
organization's Bylaws, and elected me as the new Voting Membership
Chairperson. I would like to ask everyone to help me welcome new members to
the Board of Directors: (please hold your applause)

·      Courtney Clark  <https://www.hotosm.org/people/courtney-clark>

A big thank you to everyone who stepped forward
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Board_Elections_2021#Nominations_for_Humanitarian_OpenStreetMap_Team_Board_of_Directors>
to be part of the election process this year. It was a great turnout with
very qualified candidates which wouldn’t have happened without
participation from all the voting members who cast their ballots.



I would like to send my sincere appreciation to the outgoing Board of
Directors. HOT has grown significantly over the past 12 months and your
guidance through this time has been incredible.
