WNY Region Director’s Report for March 13th, 2008 Meeting
Submitted
by Don Weaver
Most of what I might report will come out in the
reports of the Region Advisors and Staff.
I will be attending a meeting of the Eastern Division to be held
March 14th and 15th at the Student Seminar at
Killington. I am sure there
will be information from that meeting that I will be sharing with you
shortly. I have also invited
Jim Decker, newly elected National Board Member, to share National issues
with us during our March13th meeting.
I will let him cover the national issues in his report.
The one item that I would like to report on is the
recent changes in officers and staff for our Region.
I have asked Ken Black to serve as the Alternate Region Director
for the remainder of my first term as Region Director.
He has served as Region Representative for a number of years and is
familiar with the workings of our Region and the Eastern Division Board.
Thanks Ken for filling in for Jim Decker as he steps up to serve as
an elected member of the National Board.
Al Hohl, as has previously been announced, has been
serving as the Assistant OEC Administrator for the Region and will be
taking Carolyn Kings position as Region OEC Administrator when Carolyn
steps down at the end of this year’s season.
Jim Bubar has graciously agreed to serve as the
Regions Corresponding Secretary following the resignation of Steve Rinaldo.
Jim will be sending out notices of the meetings, assisting Molly
Pearson during the minute taking at our meetings and will be keeping the
list of local patrol officers. (Patrol Representatives, please see that
Jim gets a directory of your patrol officers.
Send them to Jim Bubar jbubar@boncraft.com).
Nicole MacDonald will become the Region’s Awards
Banquet Chairperson for the 2009 Region Banquet.
At the present time she will work as Ken Black’s assistant for
this years Banquet. Ken has
agreed to follow through with this years Banquet serving as the Chair
following Jim Decker being elected to the National Board.
Thanks Ken (Terry and Eric for continuing service) for filling in
for Jim as he moved on to the national level.
Lowell Sylwester has agreed to serve as the Election
Committee Chair helping to lighten the load of our Recording Secretary
Molly Pearson who has served in the dual position of Recording Secretary
and Election Chair.
We welcome Lowell Sylwester, Jim Bubar, Nicole
MacDonald and Al Hohl to our Region Officers and Staff.
I want to thanks Ken Black for stepping into two critical positions
that needed to be cared for in order to finish out the 2007-2008 term of
office.
