USA Fencing board of directors and Hall of Fame voting now open - 23 May 13

If you're a voting (full) member of USA Fencing, you should have received a couple of emails about the 2013 BoD and 2014 HoF elections by now. One of the emails contains your username and password to use here to vote. Per today's email from USA Fencing, 'If you have not received your username and password and are eligible to vote, please contact VoteNet directly at 1.866.570.7699 or usfencing@votenet.com. You will need your USA Fencing member number and date of birth to verify your identity when you call.' You have until midnight MDT June 10 to place your vote.

Okay, that's all the 'how' stuff. Now how about the 'who'? Bios and photos of Board of Directors candidates can be found by clicking here. There is also more information from some of the candidates in this thread on Fencing.net. (Ignore the general shenanigans about ice cream et al. You know you can't have a completely serious conversation if there are more than three fencers in a room!) Nominees for the 2014 Hall of Fame class and info about them can be found here. The cool thing? The nominees and voting are broken down into three eras, going back to 1888. I found two different date breakdowns though, the one used on the previous link and the one listed here with the 2010 nominees. However you look at it, there's some pretty cool info out there!
