Friends and Members, KWVA-

Several have been calling seeking to find out about the election. I have just now received the report from the Nominations and Election Committee:

OFFICE OF DIRECTOR

  Votes    

Charlotte M Ayers

R028336
1,623   Elected Director, 2007-2010
Thomas S Edwards LR33145 1,477   Elected Director, 2007-2010
Lee Dauster R005657 1,374   RE-Elected Director, 2007-2010
Thomas McHugh LR07169 1,229   Elected Director, 2007-2010
C Clyde Hooks LR29987 1,049   First Runner-up
Joseph Pirrello LR07979 1,003   Second Runner-up
Michael J Glazzy LR05656 924   Third Runner-up
George Elwood LR27904 738   Last place Runner-up

The winners are congratulated and welcomed to the Board of Directors—or in one case, welcomed to continue their duties as a Director.

Mrs. Ayers, Mr. Thomas Edwards, Mr. Dauster, and Mr. McHugh will take office at 1200hrs Central Daylight Time (CDT), June 25, 2007, and Directors Feaster, McClain, Morga, will leave with our appreciation that they served their terms satisfactorily during a difficult time.

The new and/or reelected Directors will be sworn in at the first Board meeting after their election. If there is a business-without-a-meeting called before the next Board meeting the new Board will be sworn in by affidavit.

It is fair to generalize and say that all appointments made by the President and Board end on Jun 25, 1200hrs CDT, OR until a replacement is sworn in (there are a few exceptions). I will be submitting recommended appointments at the next Board meeting. As before, if anyone wants to be considered for appointment to a position/office I urge them to send me an email or letter, or call me expressing their interest. You may review our organization on the website, http://www.kwva.org/p_directory_officials.htm to gain an idea of where you might serve.

I will not recommend anyone for an office or position in this administration who has not subscribed to the Code of Conduct prepared by the E&G Committee.

I will be appointing a SELECT COMMITTEE ON TRANSITION in addition to what is listed in the Staff Directory http://www.kwva.org/p_directory_officials.htm at this time. That will be a Special Committee as defined in the Bylaws.

Thank you and let me hear from you if you are qualified and desire to be considered for appointment.


National President, KWVA/US
Chairman of the Board
