April 7, 2010 IOMA Annual Meeting
April 7th was our Annual meeting, during which we held nominations for and election of InfraGard Officers and Board members. Nominations Committee Chair, Joe Calvery, explained the nominations and voting processes. Having received no new nominations for Officers or Board members prior to the meeting, we asked for nominations from the floor. There being none, it was moved and seconded that we elect all candidates by acclamation. This motion carried and we now have a renewed slate of Officers and Board members for the 2010-2011 year.
