USFA members will soon receive ballots in the mail for the upcoming national officer elections. All USFA members of age 18 and over can vote in the elections.
This year we have two slates from which to choose: the slate nominated by the USFA's nominating committee, and a challenger slate running collectively under the label "US Fencers for Change".
I'm not endorsing either slate here. However, if DMFC members have questions about the candidates, I wanted to make sure we have information available to help them cast an informed vote.
USFA Nominating Committee slate: I'd hoped to put links to information about this slate, but the only item I could find was this article on Fencing.Net from last December announcing the nominees. Two of the nominees are good folks who have been of great service to the Des Moines Fencing Club in the past.
US Fencers for Change slate: This slate's website gives the candidate biographies and platform.
Ballots were supposed to have been mailed on May 7, so we ought to be getting them in the mail soon. Study the slates, ask questions, and cast your vote.
