The 2024 election for the North American Guild of Change Ringers closed on December 27th. Out of 441 eligible voters 122 ballots were cast. Many thanks to all our members who voted!

The ballot included Honorary Life Membership nominations for two members with long histories of service to the Guild, Mary Platt and Bob Aldinger. Both proposals were approved overwhelmingly. Congratulations to them both!

There was no election for any of the Guild's Officers, as no more than one nomination was received for any office. All incumbents are returning to office, except for Josh Burson who is stepping down as Newsletter Editor — many thanks to him for his hard work over the years! Contrary to the optimistic announcement made at the AGM, in the end no nomination was received for the Editor, so the post is vacant; the Executive Committee hopes to appoint an interim editor later this year.
