    Hi everyone 

    This is just another friendly reminder to check your email inboxes.  We have sent two emails out with reminders to vote.  The voting ends this Friday at 5pm Pacific.  Please do not delay submitting your ballots.  

    If you did not receive the email, please check your junk and spam first for an email from Election Buddy.   If you still do not have it, please send me an email directly.  Thanks!

    Anne, Board Members, Fellow 90Minders.

    Am I the only one to miss the BOD election message sent last week on 3/3 (found in my spam folder today, content below) or perhaps the one sent on 2/24 forwarded to me by another member who mentioned in a chat that there was barely enough time on the 24th when that one was received?  If I missed it, I wonder how many others were unaware of this IMPORTANT EVENT?????

    Last year, there was a reminder posted about the email link, but in searching for one this year on the forum, I found nothing!!!!

    I know there isn't a perfect solution, but can we at least agree to post reminders EVERY year on the respective community forum?

    I am also requesting that voting be reopened until THURSDAY (3/9) so that the ballot link can be located and our votes cast.  EVERY vote is important (at least in blue states, that is).

    Thanks in advance,

    PS  WHO are the candidates?  Did I miss that important announcement as well?  I have been out of the country,

    Don't Forget to Vote for the 2022 90 Minds Board of Directors

    You are reminded to vote in the 90 Minds Inc. 2023 90 Minds Board of Director Election.

    The voting deadline is Mar 3 2023 5:00pm Pacific Time (US & Canada).

    We are using an online election system to tabulate our votes. Do not reply to this email to vote, as your vote will not be registered.

    If you have election questions, feedback or want to be removed from future ballot lists, please email Anne Sawyer at anne.sawyer@90minds.com.

    Hi Jeff 

    The ballots were sent individually to each member and identified by each email address for security and privacy.  It shows me it was sent to you (and reminders) with no rejection. 

    Since Meeting the Minds convenes tomorrow, there will be an official announcement at the conference.  I am sorry you will not be there again this year.  It is worth noting, this was not a contested election.

    Unfortunately, though they were individually marked and delivered, unless members were made aware via another email (or this forum as was done last year) how do you really know who was notified and who's email went directly to the spam folder?  I am surely not the only one getting hundreds of spam message a day.  Who has the time?  Why wasn't there any public notice?  The email forwarded to me from the 24th said the deadline was the 24th.  The one I found in my spam folder from the 3rd said the voting deadline was the 3rd.  What was the correct messaging?   Where was the HL communication about who was being nominated?  I searched and could not find anything?  How is this important communication being delivered?  Isn't it troubling that only 25% of the membership participated?  These are the questions worth noting!!!!  IMHO, member communication was ineffective.

    Hi everyone 

    Please note that the results that are shared above do not reflect the actual result which will be announced at Meeting of the Minds in Saturday live.  There will be more information provided in that announcement about this election and the new board members. There is more to the announcement.  Stay tuned.  

    We are looking forward to seeing everyone and welcoming our new board members.

    We hear you loud and clear. The intention was to make posts in Higher Logic announcing the election and the candidates. With everything going on in getting ready for Meeting of the Minds, it got missed. And I missed that it got missed. No need to continue the flagellation.

    Did I miss the post for the Annual meeting session?  I would like to attend via Zoom/Teams whatever.

    Thanks in advance,

    The Annual Meeting will be Saturday at Meeting of the Minds. We have no intention of simulcasting it online. We will take note of the suggestion for future meetings.

    As someone used to say, we have to provide the sizzle to encourage the members to come to Meeting of the Minds.

    It sounds like you're regretting not coming to Meeting of the Minds. Hopefully you can make it next year.

    Honestly, No regrets here.  I was expecting a little bit more sizzle.  Not sure why everyone (well most everyone) gets a chance to vote but the annual meeting is limited to those who attend MOTM.  Strange in today's world of online streaming.
