The Pennsylvania Bus Association (PBA) has a new slate of leaders. The nearly century-old organization announced the results of a virtual General Member Meeting held June 3 to conduct the board of director elections. With the June Annual Meeting rescheduled to October this year and terms due to expire in June, PBA came up with a creative solution to hold the elections.
Voting members were invited to attend and were sent a secret ballot via a third-party election administration company to vote during the meeting. The membership voted to accept the slate as presented by the Nominating Committee, made up of Chair Jim JeBran, of Trans-Bridge Lines; Sandy Borowsky, of Starr Tours; and Nelson Floyd, of Perkiomen Tours.
Below is a list of elected directors, some new and some who renewed for another two-year term. A full list of Directors can be found at http://pabus.org/About/Leadership.
