Jim Leacy was re-elected unopposed to the position of SBI President and John Tobin was re-elected unopposed to the position of SBI Treasure.
The proposed motions were discussed next and voted on with one motion deferred to the upcoming EGM where all elections will also be held as SBI wanted to hold a EGM with members in attendance to insure the elections were done correctly.
Finally – Thank You
