First, let me take a moment to thank Emmett and Alex for taking part in the election, being good sports, and for working with Bran and I to keep the election as clean and friendly as we could.  STARFLEET really needed a good clean election and I appreciate our being able to work together to make that happen.

Next, I'd like to thank Jon and his Election Team for their hard work on the election.  It's a tough job that each and every one of you had, and I thank you for all of your time and efforts.

Thank you to the over 1,200 people who took the time to vote in the election.  Whether you voted for Emmett's team or mine, member participation is important, and I thank you for your participation.

My team and I are looking forward to working with and for the members of STARFLEET and hope to be able to have a great time working with you over the next three years.  We'll definitely have our challenges, and we'll have times when we won't see eye-to-eye on things, but I do sincerely hope that we can all find our middle ground and work together in a cooperative manner so we can continue moving forward with STARFLEET and continue to have fun together!
