UGA would like to thank all members participating in the UGA Board of Directors Election. We had a strong turnout from the members expressing their choices for the UGA Board of Directors.
UGA would also like to thank the candidates who are willing to offer their time and talents to further UGA’s mission of serving the genealogical/family history community.
The four candidates with the most votes were:
Elise Godfrey Claudia Sudweeks
Rob Wallace Maria Wittwer
UGA has twelve members on its Board of Directors. The term of board members is three years, and board members are only allowed to serve for two terms. Each year, terms start on April 1. The terms are staggered so that each year, four board seats are filled by election. Each year’s election lasts two weeks and is generally held around the first of March.
If you are interested in serving on the UGA Board of Directors, the selection committee for the election is formed in early December, and usually concludes their work by the end of January. You can contact the selection committee through the Administrative Assistant at info@ugagenealogy.org during December and January.
In addition, from time to time, board members step down for various reasons. Replacements are selected from a pool of folks who have expressed interested in serving on the board. If you would like to be added to that pool, contact the Administrative Assistant, again at info@ugagenealogy.org.
