The elections for the CARLI Board have concluded. This election is unique as the entire Board for this new organization had to be elected. For this reason and as previously announced and agreed to by the VLT, the term length of those elected is based on vote tally with the largest vote-getter getting the three-year term, the second largest the two-year term and the third largest the one-year term (within the constituency or at-large groupings).

Based on this and the election results, I am pleased to announce the composition of the new CARLI Board as follows:

- Community colleges:
3-year: Eric Welch, Highland Community College
2-year: Anna Maria Watkin, Parkland College
1-year: Sylvia Jenkins, Moraine Valley Community College

- Private colleges/universities:
3-year: Carla Tracy, Augustana College
2-year: Kathleen Walsh, National-Louis University
1-year: Linda Morrissett, DePaul University

- Public universities:
3-year: David Carlson, SIUC
2-year: Paula Kaufman, UIUC
1-year: Jay Starratt, SIUE

- At large:
3-year: Mary Munroe, Northern Illinois University
2-year: Scott Drone-Silvers, Lake Land Community College
1-year: Ellen Sutton, College of DuPage

Congratulations to these individuals! Below are the details of voting results for those who are interested.
