Elected by acclamation were: Joe Vermunt for Huron and Perth counties (Zone 7); Keith Currie for Simcoe, York and Peel (Zone 13); Alex Ferguson for Prescott, Russell, Stormont and Glengarry (Zone 14); and Kenneth Tomlinson for Cochrane, Temiskaming and East Nipissing, Algoma, Manitoulin-North Shore/Sudbury West, West Nipissing/Sudbury East, Rainy River, Kenora/Dryden, and Thunder Bay (Zone 15).
OFA members in all other zones in the province will vote by mail for the director of their choice between Aug.18 and Sept. 12.
Information about the candidates will be available on the OFA website, and will be mailed to all members during the month of July. As well, all-candidate meetings will be held in late August for members to learn more about their choices.
Nominations for the three “At-Large Directors” open Oct.15 and close Nov. 3 with the election at the 2008 OFA Convention Nov.24. Any OFA member can nominate an OFA member as candidate by mail or fax to OFA.
