Well China, we know you aren't too keen on electoral democracy, but at SFT UK, we rather like it. We've been totting up the votes and can now announce the team that will make up the new board:
Serving two years will be Alice, Iain and Pema.
Serving one year will be Ben, Iona, Lucy and Pete.
Congratulations to all! The board will also be appointing a number of additional directors to make sure SFT UK has the skills mix to campaign as effectively as possible for Tibetan freedom.
SFT UK watchers will notice that six of these folk have been reappointed - you can read about them here. Which just leaves me to welcome Pema, passionate Japanese-Tibetan activist and Tibetan Youth/Project Tibet organiser. You can listen to her lyrics and check out her graphic art on the Project Tibet MySpace page.
Why did you not go for the election this time, conall? Conall and Fiona should be serving two years instead of some people. We think you two are really capable. Hope you will serve the next term. SFT and Tibet will miss you two. Thanks for your hard work so far.
