* In the event of a tie, Section 2C of Article VI of AEA's governing policy manual states:

The candidate for each of­fice receiving the largest number of votes shall be considered elected. In case of a tie, the Board of Directors shall select the offi­cer from the tied candidates by majority vote or, in the case of a tie on the Board, by lot.

A confidential Board runoff vote was conducted by our vendor, Vote Now, per the above policy to determine the President-Elect. Candidate Felicia Bohanon was asked to recuse herself from the vote as a sitting Board Officer.
