FSC Announces Election Results, With Runoff Needed For One Seat

LOS ANGELES—The Free Speech Coalition has issued a statement congratulating five Board current members who were reelected, as well as the election of one new member to the FSC Board of Directors for the 2020-21 term. One additional seat will require a run-off election. Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas, Treasurer Bob Christian (Adam and Eve), Scott Watkins (Doc Johnson), Mark Schechter (ATMLA), and Cathy Beardsley (Segpay) were each reelected for another two-year term. Jon Blitt (Mile High Media) joins the Board for the first time. “We welcome our newest Board member, Jon Blitt, and thank our returning members for their continued service,” said Free Speech Coalition Executive Director Michelle L. LeBlanc. “We have ambitious goals for 2020, and I’m pleased to have such an experienced and committed Board supporting the work ahead.” However, two candidates tied for one seat on the Board, with Nalpac CEO Steve Craig and producer/performer Lance Hart each receiving an equal number of votes. A run-off election to fill the final Board seat will begin tomorrow, December 17, and end at 11:59 PM on Monday, December 23. Members in good standing will receive an email tomorrow morning instructing them how to vote in the run-off election.
