Orlando – The Global Business Travel Association board of directors declared its election at the organization's annual convention invalid

because it did not meet attendance thresholds, GBTA executive director Mike McCormick announced Wednesday. The association requires that at least 10 percent of members be present for in-person, proxy or electronic voting. Tuesday's meeting did not meet that attendance threshold, he said, and the present board will meet soon “to discuss the process and next steps, including the need to call a special meeting of direct members.” Members were voting for a board president, a vice president, three at-large directors and an allied member director. It also was voting on proposed changes to its bylaws.
