Election results for the American Numismatic Association board of governors race were announced today by the ANA. Other than Barry Stuppler, president-elect, and Patricia Jagger Finner, vice president, the board will consist of new faces.

You can read the news at Numismaster.com, then get some commentary from new board members at the blog Buzz with Dave Harper.

From a personal perspective, it was a pleasure to see and talk with some of the new ANA board members at recent paper money shows. Chet Krause, Joe Boling and Wendell Wolka were at the Memphis paper money show a few weeks ago. Radford Stearns trekked to the Chicago Paper Money Expo last March, as did Cliff Mishler and others.

I applaud them for their attentions to the paper money hobby during the lead-up to the voting. Is it fair to expect we'll see them just as often at paper money events now that the race is over? I hope so!

Congratulations to all the winners.
