MADRID'S MUSINGS

Larry Madrid, Chamber president

The Chamber Board’s Nominating Committee met recently to consider new candidates for the 2012 Chamber Board of Directors. Past President Wayne Harrison, and Nancy Young are the only Board members who rotate off the Board. Wayne Harrison has served two three-year terms, and held the office of President in 2010. I am very happy to announce that Lea Ann Thomas, who has served on the Executive Committee as Vice President of Public Affairs, has accepted the nomination for next year’s President Elect. A complete list of the nominations are as follows:

Seats Available
Seat #12 – Wayne Harrison Seat #20 – Nancy Young
Proposed Candidates
Seat #12 – Jennifer Sturgis Seat #20 – Robert Furlong
Board Members Eligible for Second Term
Catherine Tucker
Sandy Dobbertean
Levonia Wynn
Proposed 2012 Executive Committee
President – Rob Kincart
Immediate Past President – Larry Madrid
President Elect – Lea Ann Thomas
Vice President of Community Affairs - Carole McKenzie
Vice President of Economic Development - Linda Culpepper
Vice President of Membership/Funding/Communications - Sandy Dobbertean
Vice President of Education - Mike Deneve
Vice President of Leadership Development - Myrtice Young
Vice President of Public Affairs – Sharon Casey
Treasurer - Catherine Tucker

The above slate was presented by the Nominating Committee to the Board as their recommendations for the Board election in November. Additional names of candidates for Directors can be nominated by petition bearing the genuine signatures of at least twenty-five (25) qualified Chamber members. Qualified members are defined as a “main” contact on any business or individual membership in good standing, with only one signature per membership accepted. Such a petition shall be filed with the Nominating Committee within ten (10) days after the notice has been given of the names of those nominated. The determination of the Nominating Committee as to the legality of the petition(s) shall be final.
Bartow is very fortunate to have outstanding leadership within the business community. I am very pleased with this year’s nominees to your Board of Directors. My year as President is rapidly coming to a close. It is very gratifying to see new, dynamic individuals wanting to serve on the Chamber Board.
