WAA Board Election Results Announced

Nov 14

The results are in! Congratulations to our new and incumbent board members, whose terms begin on November 21. The board election results were announced at our Annual Membership Meeting on November 14.

Antonio Gómez and Dani Fecko will serve as WAA’s new President and Vice President, respectively.

Incumbent nominees, Qacung Stephen Blanchett, Joseph Copley-Venturo Díaz, and Rob Tocalino will each serve three-year terms as Directors; and we welcome new Director, Tamica Washington-Miller, who will also serve a three-year term.

As Joe McIalwain steps into the Immediate Past President role, we say farewell and thank you to Eleanor Oldham, who has served on the board since 2012.

I want to thank our Immediate Past President, Eleanor Oldham, for her incredible leadership during a time of unprecedented challenges and perpetual pivots… Eleanor, it has been an absolute joy to work with you — thank you for your diligence, insight, leadership, and extraordinary service.
