The Election Committee of Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons has received all of the ballots submitted in the election for Executive Director for the year 2010, and has certified that David Melson has been elected Executive Director for the one-year term beginning January 1, 2010. There were also six write-in votes for other candidates and one ballot with no vote.

“I am humbled by your love and challenged to try to be worthy of the faith that you have expressed,” David wrote shortly after hearing the results. “In the year ahead, George Cole and Micah Bisson have agreed to continue to serve with me, with George serving this coming year as Senior Assistant Director, and Micah as Assistant Director. This was something that the three of us had agreed upon a year ago if I were to be re-elected.”
