“One of the great things about being an FSC member is that when you vote in the board election, you have an active part in choosing who will represent the best interests of the adult industry,” Membership Director Joanne Cachapero said. “You pick the people who decide policies, give feedback and help make decisions on important issues and challenges facing the industry. FSC wishes each candidate good luck in this year’s election.”
