[Chapter-delegates] 2021 ISOC Board of Trustees Election Results

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Congratulations to all newly elected Board members. The UK Chapter is 
looking forward to work with you.
Thanks for all candidates for standing in this election. The high voter 
turnout in the Chapter election is a tribute to the quality of the 
candidates that took part in the election. It is great to see such a 
vibrant community.
Thanks to Mrs. Diop for the hard work of the election committee in 
constituting such a great palette of talent.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
