2017 Election of Board Directors

10-16-2017

Dear Dan Member,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. As the secretary of the Board of Directors, the Federation’s By–laws charge me with overseeing distribution of and tallying responses for all Board Director nominations and election ballots. In each region where Board Director’s terms are expiring, nomination forms were mailed to all Dan members eligible to vote and who had current membership. The top two nominees (or 3 if a tie between any two) from each region are listed below and each has accepted their nomination and agreed to run in this election. Board Directors elected in 2017 will serve your region for a term of three years from 01/01/2018 to 12/31/2020.

            Region 2:         Tony Le                                   John Kim

            Region 3:         Keith Wildonger                     None

            Region 6:         Board Chairman Appointee to be Determined

            Region 9:         Thomas Thai                           Elena Duncan

            Region 10:       Charles Holland                      None

As a Federation member you have the right to vote for your regional representative to the Board of Directors.  All active Dan members over the age of 18 are eligible to vote. All voting members over the age of 18 are eligible to serve as a Board Director. This process is outlined in and conducted under the authority of the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation, Inc.’s Charter and By-laws which state:
