2021 Director Elections

Carl Youngblood co-founded the MTA in 2006 and has served since 2021 as its President and CEO. He is engaged with the Association’s efforts to explore the intersection of Mormon theology and transhumanist philosophy. ¶ Among the many initiatives that Carl has been involved with, he has designed and built the Association's current website, which unifies all prior content in a single location using inspiring visuals and animations.
The Mormon Transhumanist Association announces the results of recent director elections. The following three of five candidates have been elected by the voting membership:
A vote being cast in a ballot box.
- Teresa Garrison Pratt
- Charles Randall Paul
- Caleb Jones
We wish to congratulate the new directors and look forward to their service. We also extend our sincere thanks to the other nominees for their continued support and willingness to serve.
We have enjoyed working with outgoing directors Lincoln Cannon and Blaire Ostler. They have had profound influence on the Association. As an association founder, Lincoln served as President for several years, and has been a director from the beginning. Blaire Ostler served as a director for six years, including 18 months as CEO during a time of significant growth and increased visibility. Going forward, Lincoln has agreed to serve as head of the Board of Advisors, a committee composed of former association directors.
If you would like to participate in director elections next year, become a voting member today.
