The election period for the VACETS DC Local Chapter leadership
ended on May 4, 1997, and the results are summarized below:
Candidate number of Votes:
Mr. Vuong Quoc Anh --- 16 votes
Mr. Huynh Le --- 10 votes
Ms. Le T. Loan --- 9 votes
Total: 19 members cast their votes; 17 voters marked
two candidates (the maximum allowed), one voter chose only one potential
officer, and one voter cast his or her vote but did not select any candidate.
Also note that we have a total of 26 confirmed DC Chapter
members and 23 unconfirmed DC Chapter members. The unconfirmed members
are defined as VACETS members who are in the DC Chapter area but not on
the list of DC Chapter members; their status as a DC Chapter member is
still being sought. Nevertherless, the unconfirmed members were eligible
to vote for the DC Chapter leadership election. Among the 23 unconfirmed
members, three exercised their rights and cast their votes. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank all VACETS DC Chapter members for your
enthusiasm and active involvement in the selection of our leaders for the
1997. Your vote will make a difference as we are moving our chapter toward
another year full of activity and excitement. I also would like to thank
anh Doan Duc Trieu very
much for his help to put the election together. Without anh Trieu, I did
not have a clue how to organize or proceed the election on the Internet.
