Thank you to all who voted in the 2023 Wonderwall Board of Directors election. We had 68 shareholder ballots cast, our highest number since 2018. Based on the results of the election four members were elected; Maggi Heyer, Ryan Zumsen, Daniel Ditmanson and Anthony de Sam Lazaro. Maggi was re-elected for a second term, while Ryan, Daniel and Anthony will be serving their first terms. Thank you to all who stepped up as nominees this year.
As we announced in 2022, following requests from members for added transparency, we are sharing a summary of this year’s voting. Below is the vote summary from ElectionBuddy, the third party service we use to administer our elections. Wonderwall uses ranked choice voting for our elections, and these results are broken out by first choice, second choice and third choice based on how many rounds of counting it took for four candidates to reach the minimum votes needed to be elected.
68 of 124 ballots cast.
