Karen Semonson, Nominating Chair
Vivit Board of Directors

I am pleased to announce that the 2016 Board of Director election is complete. I’d like to take a moment to thank those of you who took the time to vote in our recent election. For those that do not already know, Vivit has a Board of Directors that consists of nine directors who manage our staff of four and provide leadership and direction to our Local User Group and Special Interest Group leaders throughout the world. Each year, Vivit holds staggered elections to elect three of the nine board members.

It is my distinct pleasure to announce the 2016 class of elected Vivit Board Members:

I’d like to thank the other board candidates who although they were not elected to the board this year, they were exceedingly strong candidates who volunteer their time as Local User Group or Special Interest Group leaders. We feel proud to have them as leaders within our organization and hope that they’ll consider standing for election in future years.

Additional Vivit Board Candidates
Jim Copio Manager Whitlock Infrastructure Solutions Davidson, NC USA
Pedro Mendes Vice Head of Department DataSmart Portugal
Ali Malik QA Tester Deloitte Chicago, IL USA
Jonathan Wright Director of Digital Engineering Hitachi Consulting UK

I’d also like to take a moment to thank David Broerman who is departing the Vivit Board this year. David is stepping away from the Board due to work commitments and personal obligations, and will be a loss to our team. We wish him well and hope that he will stay in touch.
