2004-2005 TWHBEA Board of Directors’ Election Results
Thursday, October 28, 2004
The results are in for the 2004-2005 Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA) Board of Directors’ Election. The certified public accounting firm of Cook & Co., Arab, Ala., tallied the returns.
Cook & Co., provided the following executive summary:
“We mailed 14,138 ballots and received 27 back from USPS as ‘undeliverable as addressed.’ Of the 27, we were able to re-mail six of them with forwarding addresses provided by USPS. We received 3,297 ballots by return mail (23% overall). Of the 3,297 received, 21 were not counted due to noncompliance with balloting instructions.”
The 23% overall return-rate is down from last year’s 29%.
A tie occurred among write-in candidates in Washington, and TWHBEA is contacting the individuals involved to determine if a run-off election will be necessary.
The results of the 2004-2005 TWHBEA Board of Directors’ Election are as follows:
