About the 2026 Election
Voter participation totaled 522 members, consistent with the range we have seen across recent election cycles — 354 in 2025, 547 in 2024 (Officer election), and 864 in 2023 (At-Large election).
As we do in every election cycle, CSI worked proactively throughout the voting period to ensure every eligible vote was received, recorded, and counted accurately. The election was administered through AssociationVoting, an independent third-party platform, which provides one-member/one-vote enforcement, duplicate-vote prevention, eligibility controls, and a full audit log of voting activity.
In keeping with our commitment to transparency, the unedited results are published as of this notice. Certified results from AssociationVoting are available at Certification_letter_CSI_2026.pdf. We are proud of the election process we have built, and prouder still of the members who participate in it. The fact that we had a number of write-in candidates in this election tells us there is growing interest among members in helping shape the future of CSI.
Every year, our hope is to see active engagement from across the membership. The interest, the questions, and the involvement we have seen this cycle reflect a community that cares deeply about CSI's future and direction. That is a good thing for any association, and a good thing for CSI.
Thank you again to everyone who took part. We look forward to the work ahead with our newly elected Board and our active and engaged membership.
Sincerely,
William Sundquist, FCSI
Chair, CSI Board of Directors
