Dear All, Congratulations to Sebastien! Hearty thanks to Alan and Perrier for your long-time service and commitment to the community. APRALO had a poll to guide the Chair to vote. Although there were technical problems and two ALSes had to send in their opinions via emails, all the opinions were equally considered and counted and Sebastien slightly won out. I'm sure the process itself is a capacity building exercise for APRALO and shows that we do have strong faith in the At-large director to be elected. We wish for the more brilliant future for at-large.
