Board of Directors Elections

The attending membership nominated and voted for the four existing Directors positions. All the existing positions remain the same with the exception of Secretary. Christine Roberto, who has given us 10 years of service, decided to step down to attend to other obligations and her position will be filled by Michael Hunter of the City of Lakewood.

The Directors positions carry a two-year obligation and the positions are set from 7-1-04 until 6-30-06. I'm sure I speak for all in thanking Christine for her many years of service and hard work.
