New KSER Board of Directors Members

There were no satellite trucks parked outside; no hanging chads; no calls for a recount and not one of the TV networks projected a winner prematurely.

The KSER Foundation annual meeting was held Tuesday night and included the official ballot count for the 2012 Board of Directors election.  There were 5 open positions for the board and five candidates running unopposed to fill each position.  One current board member, Pam Somers, was re-elected and four local community leaders were elected new members of the KSER Foundation board of directors.

The four new KSER members are Cheryl Telford; David Kosar; Brad Goergen and Marla Hamilton Lucas.

The KSER Board Vote Count

 Welcome to the new KSER Board Members!  Just like the more than 100 volunteers who work behind the scenes and on the air to keep KSER up and running, the KSER Board of Directors are also all volunteers. They, too, give their time and effort to maintain a great community radio resource in the North Puget Sound.

 And a special thanks to four now 'former' board members who have decided to take a break from the rigors of KSER board work.  Karen Crowley, Tom Killorin, Miriam Driss and Sandy Thompson can now get some of their free time back...for a while.
