Seven of the eight Members of the Board attended the meeting in person, with some traveling to Arizona from as far away as Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Wilmington, Delaware. On Saturday night preceding the annual meeting, the Alcor Board, Advisors, staff, and their guests were treated to a gala reception at the Scottsdale Hyatt by our hosts Lisa Lock (Cryonics Magazine editor) and her husband, Delaware attorney and Alcor Board Member, Dr. Michael Seidl. Thank you so much, Lisa and Michael, for a fabulous evening of food, drink, and lively conversation! All eight Board Members (Dr. Kat Cotter, Hugh Hixon, Saul Kent, Dr. Ralph Merkle, Carlos Mondragon, Dr. Michael Riskin, Dr. Michael Seidl, Steve Van Sickle), were re-elected by acclamation for another one year term, while Dr. Michael Riskin was re-elected as Chairman of the Board. Likewise, Alcor's four officers, (Dr. Jerry Lemler, President/CEO, Dr. Michael Riskin, Vice President, Joseph Hovey, Treasurer, and Jessica Sikes, Secretary), were re-elected to their respective offices. Additionally, the Alcor Foundation is pleased to announce the hiring of a well-known and respected cryonicist and Alcor member, Charles Platt, to become the new Director of Suspension Services. Charles will shortly be relocating to Scottsdale from his home in northern Arizona to take up his new position within the next couple of weeks.
