I am happy to inform you that we have concluded our presidential election and Cynthia Messenger has been elected to a 2-year term beginning on July 1, 2016.
I want to also congratulate Paul Hamel for his participation in this close election.
Both Cynthia and Paul demonstrated a commitment to a fair and friendly election.
Last, I want to express my appreciation to the UTFA staff and volunteers who ensured a smooth, fair, and transparent election process.
Darren Dias
