CGOA begins the year with four Board members returning for second terms following the membership vote. Congratulations to Cari Clement, Tammy Hildebrand, Jane Rimmer and Karen Whooley. They, along with Jack Blumenthal, Mary Colucci and Amy Shelton, form the Board of Directors. At their organizational meeting on January 4, the Board voted to retain the same officers: President Amy Shelton, Vice President Cari Clement, Secretary Karen Whooley and Treasurer Jane Rimmer.
The membership also approved a CGOA Bylaws revision that will allow for electronic balloting starting with 2012's Board elections. Thank you to those of you who took the time to fill out and return your ballots.
