Leigh LaChine elected Alabama LP chair

Alabama convention results – copy and paste from comments, I’ll try to fix it up later.

Leigh La Chine, previously Vice Chair, only candidate nominated for Chair, wins 17-1 over NOTA. Aaron Watkins (previously Secretary) is only candidate for Vice Chair, wins 17-0. Christopher Allen, previously B’ham region chair is the only nominee for Secretary. Wins 15-1 over NOTA. Ross Lowe is the only candidate for Treasurer. Lowe 16 – NOTA 1.

Jim Albea and Jennifer McGowan(sp?) are the two nominees for the two At Large positions. Both 16-0. Crissie (Sp?) Brown is only candidate nominated for Director of Outreach. 14 Brown, NOTA 1.

Region caucus – 4 regions, most people are from B’ham region. Colin Albea and Mark Bodenhausen are nominated for region rep. Colin Albea 9-5 over Bodenhausen for Region rep. Knizley is the only one here for Mobile. Bodenhausen takes Montgomery region instead since they are not represented. Huntsville did not get represented. That’s it. Adjourned.

It is new chair Leigh LaChine’s birthday. Party will be at the baseball park after the convention.

Earlier: Amendment to expand exec comm put forward by Rster and withdrawn. No other bylaws proposals.

Including non voting attendees I am estimating 30-40 people were here. Best in several years.
