President's Pen
Dear Member,
It is that time of year when the GCPGC Board begins to think about the succession of the council. As such, a nominating committee was put together consisting of former President, Margaret Gaither, and Board members Anne Maxfield, Sue Ellen Stuebing, Carol Stevie, and myself. We met on September 30 aboard my boat and enjoyed great conversation. We left the meeting with our assignments, and here are the results:
Current Board members Mindy Hammer, Karen Kruer, Jeff Lydenburg, Anne Maxfield, and Sue Ellen Stuebing have agreed to serve a second term. Sally Alspaugh and Susan Kulick's board membership will terminate at the end of this year. Sally has agreed to continue heading up the Virtual Seminars provided by Xavier. Whitney O'Neal has agreed to stay on yet another year -- I'm thinking we might want to consider her emeritus status. She will stay on board to work with Judie List-Sweeney who she has enlisted to assist her with marketing/web page efforts. Many thanks to all of you.
New Board Member candidates are Bruce Favret, Michelle Mancini, and Judie List-Sweeney. They will be on the slate at the January 2012 annual meeting. Bruce has agreed to serve with Sally on the virtual seminars, Michelle will serve on Voices of Giving, and as mentioned, Judie will serve on the Marketing committee.
As Mindy Hammer will move from her present role as Secretary into the Vice President position, Carol Stevie has graciously agreed to serve as Secretary in 2012. Thanks Carol!
Marc Littlecott has agreed to Chair the 2012 Planned Giving on the Run Program, and Anne Maxfield will serve once again on that committee. Thanks Marc and Anne!
Many thanks to my Nominating Committee members and to our nominees.
All the best!!
Mary Alice Koch, President
