2023 Tripoli Board of Directors Election Results

Bill Riley | Published on 7/8/2023
I am pleased to share the results of the 2023 election of Tripoli directors. 

We had three incumbents, Neal Baker, Bob Brown, and Gary Rosenfield as candidates to continue their service on the board for another term.  Additionally, Art Applewhite, Bryce Chanes, Amy Howell, Rick Maschek, and Christopher Nilsen submitted as candidates.  These eight candidates represented a good cross section of our membership.

Bob Brown and Gary Rosenfield have been re-elected, and Amy Howell joins as a new director, all for three-year terms.  This will be the first term for Amy, the second for Bob, and the third term for Gary.  Congratulations to all!

Please join me in also extending a sincere ‘Thank you’ to all candidates for stepping up, demonstrating their willingness to shoulder the responsibility of leading our organization. Our membership has grown remarkably over the past year, and with that comes additional work for the Board of Directors and the committees that support them.

It is encouraging to see new candidates each year.  All are encouraged to volunteer as candidates again next year.

Here are some noteworthy highlights of this year’s election:  First, we expanded to 7,292 eligible voters in 2023, up from 5,483 eligible voters in 2022.  Similarly, 1,212 ballots were submitted this year (16.6% participation), compared to 676 in 2022 (12.3%).   These increases are encouraging, as they illustrate an active interest in the health of our association and the hobby.
