The offices of Secretary and Treasurer were filled from the at large board seats at the first board meeting, May 13th, 2007.

In addition to the election, the ACA awarded Jeff Dee a plaque "for his years of dedicated service as a passionate advocate for reason, church-state separation, and positive atheism." Way to go, Jeff!
