"The FORNL annual meeting was called to order at 11:53 a.m. by President Kent Williams from his home (following several preliminary welcoming announcements). The official election of board members was held during a virtual annual Zoom meeting because of COVID-19 restrictions that prevented an in-person meeting."
"President Williams announced that this meeting was called to elect FORNL board members."
"The Nominating Committee comprised of Kathy Gant, John Gunning, Trent Primm, John Rather, and Ellen Smith (convener), recommended the following slate of nominees for the 2021 Board:
•     Sydney Ball, start of 1st  term;
•     David Fields, start of 1st  term;
•     John Gunning, last year of 3rd  term to replace a resigned board member;
•     Carolyn Krause, start of 1st  term;
•     Fred Peretz, start of 1st  term;
•     Janet Swift, start of 2nd  term."
"President Williams thanked the committee for their work and he noted that FORNL members received the announcement of this slate and a short biography of each candidate more than 30 days ago (a by-law requirement)."
"Board Officers nominated for 2021 (to be considered by the board on March 8, 2020) were:
•     John Gunning, President;
•     To be determined, Vice President;
•     David Mullins, Secretary;
•     Chuck Coutant, Treasurer."
"President Williams called for additional board nominees from the floor (a by-laws requirement). No additional nominees were proposed by the membership."
"FORNL members from the floor moved, and seconded that the nominations be closed.  The motion passed."
"The proposed board nominees were elected unanimously."
"President Williams thanked the officers and all board members for their service this past year."
"No additional business for the annual meeting was proposed from the floor."
"The meeting was adjourned at 12:01 p.m., and a presentation of the monthly luncheon lecture followed."
