We are very happy to announce the Focus Fusion Society Transitional Board of Directors (“TBOD”) for 2011 with the addition of six new Directors. Please join us in welcoming our incoming Directors Linda Schade (Chair), Ignas Galvelis (Secretary), Henning Burdack, Ben Ferris, T. Joseph Nkansah-Mahaney and Arif Basha. We also welcome back John Shellito (Treasurer) who will be continuing for a further term. We look forward to their contributions to the Board and the efforts they will catalyze for our entire community.

Their term officially began on May 14, 2011. As a transitional board, they will help guide the organization as we develop our strategic plan and put in place a new set of bylaws. Per the current bylaws, we are a membership organization. The new bylaws will require a majority vote of the members for ratification. We will make the process as transparent as possible and provide notice to the members of the emerging plan and bylaws. Per the current bylaws, we will also provide thirty days notice for the membership meeting to vote on the new bylaws.

As a note to those of you who would like to be considered for the board, we are still seeking candidates for the board beyond this transitional phase.

Thank you to all of the candidates who put themselves forth.
