Thanks for your support!

The results of the 2012 election for the IGDA Board of Directors have been announced here:http://igdaboard.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/2012-igda-board-election-results/.

Unfortunately, my bid to join the board failed by a mere 13 votes! That's very frustrating, to say the least. However, I congratulate Sheri Rubin and Ed Fries on their successful election, and I sincerely thank everyone who supported my candidacy - I truly appreciate it!

It's also very unfortunate that the election did not achieve quorum with its voting. We must do better to help IGDA members feel engaged and invested in the work of the organization. Now, let's get back to business and get the IGDA in shape, shall we? It takes more than a board to make that a reality...

Call to Action: PLEASE VOTE!

The election for the IGDA Board of Directors ends on 18 March - that's just 5 days away! If you haven't voted yet, NOW is the time - it's quick and easy! The URL to vote is http://bit.ly/IGDAElection

All IGDA members should have received an email with their registered email address and unique to them password. Anyone who doesn't have that should email James at ops@igda.org to get sorted out.

Of course I would appreciate your support in my candidacy for the board! I also highly recommend Sheri Rubin's candidacy as she's proven herself far above and beyond duty as one of the IGDA's most productive volunteers! More information about Sheri's positions can be found here:http://sheriforigda.org/.

Whoever you decide to elect, PLEASE exercise your right to vote! Let's help the election achieve quorum! Thank you!

Voting has Begun! PLEASE VOTE!

Voting is now OPEN for the IGDA Board of Directors! It's time to exercise your voice as an IGDA member and VOTE! Once you do, please encourage other folks to do the same - it's critical for the IGDA to hit quorum (1,253 votes) for the election to be valid!

Place your vote for the Board of Directors members by March 18th. Visit http://igda.org/elections for information on the candidates, their positions, and the voting process.

Of course, I would greatly appreciate your vote for my candidacy! I hope you'll also consider voting for IGDA über-volunteer Sheri Rubin; she's been a true force of change in the IGDA and also deserves to be on the board!
