Congratulations to those elected to serve on the Board and thank you for your willingness to serve the community. Those leaving the Board are 2019 Board President Jerry DeLano and Director Stella VanNess who complete their terms of service on December 31, 2019. Darla Akins, who was seated after last year’s election for a one year commitment, filled the vacancy created by a resignation. Her election this year will be for a full 3-year term.
