New Officers Elected for 2010-2011

It was a busy 4-H County Council and Volunteer Leaders' Association Meeting tonight. Not only did we take care of our usual business with county wide program updates, training schedules, etc. We held our elections for our County Council and Volunteer Leaders' Association officers. This is an annual election and the clubs and members at large vote members and volunteers into office that they believe will help shape and move our county 4-H program forward.

Of course first we had to thank our outgoing officers for 2010. Those represented last night included: Aljaquan Nixon, President; and Yasmine Washington Secretary-Treasurer of the County Council. Officers from the Volunteer Leaders included: Hazel Sumner, President; Missy McLean, Treasurer; and Larry Russ, Parliamentarian. After introducing the slate of officers for 2010-2011 we broke out into club huddles for each club to cast their vote.

When the votes were counted our incoming officers were announced and inducted into office. For the 4-H County Council the officers are: Kristen Sealey, Sergeant-at-Arms; Christopher Bullard, Reporter; Korina Pittman, Secretary-Treasurer; Christian McRae, President-elect; and Aljaquan Nixon has agreed to serve as President for a second term. Representing the adults our 4-H Volunteer Leaders' Association Officers are: Missy McLean, Parliamentarian; Libby Burney, Reporter; Katherine Bethea, Treasurer; Deborah McBryde, Secretary; Jane Hurst, President-elect; and Kenneth Bethea as President.

Congratulations to all the incoming officers. Their next meeting will be in October for Orientation and from there we will set the schedule for upcoming meetings.
