The results are in for this year’s Iwate JALT exectutive committee. All of the positions were uncontested. I was happy to see that voter turnout was surprisingly high. 20 out of 28 members submitted a ballot. Usually we hold elections at our annual general meeting, and unfortunately, not everyone can attend. I wanted to make sure every voice could be heard during this election, so I the used the online election service Opavote. They allowed me to run the election online, offering ease of use and security. Going forward, I feel that Opavote will serve us well. And now, here is your 2018 Iwate JALT executive:

We are always looking for future officers and volunteers to help us not only at Iwate JALT, but JALT on the national level. If you are a JALT member and are interested in becoming more involved with organization, please reach out to me here. Thank you.
