At the Dec 12, 2023 VCF-MA Steering Committee meeting, Alex Jacocks announced that he needed to step down from his position as a Steering Committee member. Since Alex was in the middle of his two year term, his position opened up as an off-cycle opening as defined by the VCF-MA Steering Committee by-laws. As such, the by-laws allow for the Steering Committee to fill the open spot without a separate election. Since the recent election produced more nominees than open Steering Committee positions, the Steering Committee decided to place into the open position the candidate from the recent election with the third highest number of votes. That person is Dave McGuire, who coincidentally was an incumbent in the recent election. However, his placement is not for a full two years. It is only for the remainder of Alex's original term, to the end of 2024. As it stands for now, the current makeup of the VCF-MA Steering Committee is: Jeff Salzman Doug Crawford Dave McGuire Thomas Gilinsky Ian Litchfield We all look forward to guiding VCF as a productive and informative organization dedicated to vintage computing. Sincerely, Jeff Salzman Chairman VCF-MA Steering Committee
