Ten Are Running for SVIA Board

During the month of August, SVIA members were asked to nominate members to run for five open SVIA Board seats: two-plan sponsor seats and three-service firm seats. This year over 39 individuals were nominated by more than 70 percent of the voting members.

This year ten plan sponsors were nominated to be candidates. Only two chose to run for the two-plan sponsor seats. The plan sponsors are: Edward Adams from IBM and Karen Chong-Wulff from DuPont.

Service firm nominees had to receive at least five nominations in order to be a candidate. Only eight of the 29 nominees received five or more nominations. However, all of the eight service firm members chose to run for the three service firm positions. The service firm members who are running are listed below.

The elections will be held using the Internet after this year’s October 10-12th National Forum and Annual Membership meeting. Each voting member will be asked to affirm the two plan sponsor candidates and select three out of the eight service firm candidates. Look for more information about the candidates in the Forum materials and in your emails during the week of October 16th.
