The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America announced the results of this year’s elections to serve the organization on its Board of Directors. Only some of the races were contested. The new Board of Directors includes:
President: John Scalzi
Vice President: Mary Robinette Kowal
Treasurer: Amy Sterling Casil (re-elected)
Secretary: Robert Howe
Overseas Regional Director: Sean Williams
South Central Regional Director: Lee Martindale
The officers serve one-year terms each. The Regional Directors, three-year terms. Staying in office (their terms weren’t ending this year) are Eastern Regional Director Bud Sparhawk and Western Regional Director Jim Fiscus.
The Canadian Regional Director’s seat was up for election this year, but there were no declared candidates, so one of the incoming Board’s first tasks will be to fill the vacancy. The new Board of Directors takes office on 1 July 2010.
