Moving Up and Waiting

The last 4-H County Council and Volunteer Leaders Association meeting of the year is traditionally a time for elections. However the heat and fun of the summer may have gotten in the way of competition between our youth for County Council positions. When it came time to vote, President-Elect Christian McRae was forced to make a motion to table the elections until a time when more youth who who meet the criteria for the positions were physically there. The motion was seconded and the elections will be held at the next meeting.
The volunteer leaders did have enough members present to go ahead and elect officers. Kenneth Bethea who has been the President will now be Past President and advisor for the group. Jane Hurst will move up to President from President-elect. President-elect is Veronica Powell. Secretary-treasurer will be Lillian McNeil and Libby Burney will carry on in her role as reporter. Vanessa Moore will take on the role of Parliamentarian.
We want to thank those who step forward in these leadership roles to help guide our 4-H program. A special election for the county council officer positions will be held September 14th at 6 pm. The elections will take place at the 4-H office. Nominations will taken from the floor for President-Elect and Sergeant at Arms.
