Annual Meeting & Board of Directors Elections
The Annual Meeting was held on May 14 at Westgate Bowl at 7:00pm.
Thank you to all those who attended last nights Annual Meeting. We had about 50 in attendance. We heard several excellent reports from the USBC Annual Meeting in Nebraska (which will be posted online soon), elected 1 president, elected 5 officers, and passed one amendment to the by-laws. The amendment now states that for Election of Directors, “Qualifications must be submitted to the Nominating Committee at least one week prior to the Opening of the Annual Meeting”. This used to be 24 hours.
Pat Cross was re-elected as president.
Re-elected to 3 year terms as board members were:
JoAnn Goggins, Earl Haney, Sharyl Jahn, Matthew Jelsma, and Leroy McIntosh
