Thank you Lourie and John and to our division for some outstanding work and commitment.

Next Region meeting – by phone conference 4/21/2020.  Need invite?  email john Donnelly or Jim Tuinier

May 4, 2019 – Our meeting will begin at 2PM and I expect it will be in the Cedar Lounge (upstairs) at Cannonsburg.  Region IT’s will be having their meeting in the same room immediately prior so be thoughtful if you arrive early as they are completing their meeting.  As our awards banquet will be starting up after the board meeting, we need to move expeditiously and stay on schedule.

SECTION WM 2 IS HOLDING AN ELECTION FOR SECTION CHIEF!

Kevin Barrons, the current Section Chief, is retiring from the Section Chief position – after 6 years in this position he is term limited.  We are most fortunate to have three (3) very qualified people who have stepped up and volunteered to run for this position:  Maria Alfonso, Mark Johnson, and Colleen Wolfer.  Included with this announcement you will find information from each of them.  Please take the time to read over what they have written!

Western Michigan is a one-person, one-vote region, meaning that each person registered in Section WM 2 will receive a ballot and the opportunity to vote for WM 2’s Section Chief. This will be our leader —- and we will determine who that leader will be.

January 25^th – ballots will be mailed.

February 15^th – deadline for ballots to be postmarked — ballots are returned to Pat Livingston.

The outcome of the election will be announced before the end of February.  The person elected will take over as Section Chief on July 1, 2019.  This is a three-year position.

Please read over the Candidate Information sheets carefully.

QUESTIONS?  CONCERNS?  Give me a call (616-481-7167), send me a text (616-481-7167), or write me an email (plivingston67@gmail.com).

Thanks!

Pat Livingston, Region Election Coordinator

Please go and VOTE!!!!  My main message is to VOTE, turnout last year was abysmal (just over 20%).  If you need background info on all the candidates, go HERE or contact your patrol rep/director or me, JohnDonnelly for our thoughts.

For what it is worth, Brian Rull is a current board member from Central Division and has done a great job. Julie Stone is an Assistant Division Director in Central Division and has been personally very supportive of our activities in Western Michigan despite coming from St. Louis.
