Slate of Proposed Officers, 2024—2025
Don Bayham, chair of the Nominating Committee, presented the slate of proposed officers for 2024—2025. He had a handout on the tables with the pictures and brief information on their background and professional career. The membership voted to approve the proposed slate: Lisa Theriot, President; J. D. Haight, Vice President/President-Elect; Diane Graifemberg, Treasurer; Linda Savage, Secretary.
Biennial Directory of Retirees
Delryn Fleming made a motion that we start providing paid members with a PDF copy of our directory rather than a print copy as the cost goes up each time we print them. The cost of printing and mailing the new one would be a little over $4,000. Those who want a printed copy can pay for one. The proposal was approved by the membership. The directory to come out early spring will be a PDF copy except for those who tell Diane ahead of time that they want a print copy and are willing to pay for it.
