In addition to voting for the Executive Board and Officers, members will also be asked to vote on two special questions on the March 6, 2021 ballot:

• Question 1:  Should the requirement for in-person voting for the Executive Board and Officers be removed (from Article 5.1.5 of the By-Laws) by striking the words: “The annual Executive Board and Officers election is excluded from electronic voting”.       Yes or No.

• Question 2:  Should the GFCA annual budget be maintained at its 2019/20 level of $25,400 until such time as in-person town hall membership meetings resume; or as otherwise agreed by a membership vote.       Yes or No.

GFCA will process the ballots by first ensuring that the voter named on the outside of the envelope is an active member.  The verified ballot will then be removed and separated from the envelope so that the member’s vote remains confidential.  The ballots will be tabulated and results reported on the GFCA website and in the April newsletter.
