2025 EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTION RESULTS
The AFHC held its annual Executive Board Election to fill one At Large (Statewide) position, and three regional board positions — and the results are in! We had an amazing selection of candidates and saw another round of great participation from our membership with votes from across the state. We would like to thank everyone for nominating candidates and each of the candidates for their dedication to ensuring all voices are heard.
So without further ado, please congratulate the winning candidates of this year’s 2025 AFHC Executive Board Election!
