Special to SABEW
PHOENIX – SABEW members meeting here at the annual spring conference will elect six members for the organization’s 22-person Board of Governors, March 27-29.
The election will be contested by three incumbents and three newcomers. Three incumbents have chosen not to run for three-year terms.
Candidates include (in alphabetical order):
· Glenn Hall, MarketWatch (incumbent)
· Mark Hamrick, Bankrate.com
· Mary Jane Pardue, Missouri State University (incumbent)
· Jim Pensiero, The Wall Street Journal
· Karey Van Hall, Reuters
· Allen Wastler, CNBC.com (incumbent)
Incumbents Beth Hunt, Mark Tatge and Dawn Wotapka will not run.
The election will be conducted at the spring conference at the Cronkite School at Arizona State University Downtown. All individual members present will be eligible to vote, along with a single representative from each SABEW’s 221 institutional members. SABEW conducted online elections for the board in 2011-13.
Kevin G. Hall, SABEW president, said that electronic voting did result in slightly more voter participation. “But it was more costly,” he said. “The change is part of our effort to hold down costs wherever we can.”
