Thank you Mohamad for sharing results. I wish to thank everyone for participating and working hard in difficult times as volunteers while learning new ways to work and also dealing with pandemic. Special thanks to outgoing Vice Chairs Mark, Dennis and Dussan. I will miss our Woking together.

Dear Universal Acceptance (UA) Community,
On behalf of the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), I am pleased to announce the results of the 2021 UASG leadership elections (Chair and Vice-Chair positions). As the UASG charter<https://uasg.tech/uasg-charter/> indicates, the UASG will be “overseen by one Chair and two to three Vice-Chairs who will be appointed to two-year terms.”
Interested candidates for the Chair and Vice-Chair positions were asked<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/2021-UASG-Election-Accepting-No...> to submit self-nominations and Statements of Interest by 9 March 2021 (original deadline was extended). The UASG received four nominations – one for Chair and three for Vice-Chair – resulting in an uncontested election. Below are the results.
