10-09-2006 Greetings All

The ballot for this year’s election of National Board Members has been sent out to all members.  Please note that this also includes Alumni Patrollers.  All members who are current with their dues and have a registration number should receive a ballot either by e-mail or by post.  Please let your Regions know that Patrollers should be looking for their ballot and of course casting their votes for four Board Members.  We are on the cusp of having a Board that really listens and acts in the best interest of the members.  This election is going to determine whether this becomes the new Board culture or not.

We have worked very hard to achieve the right to vote for Patrollers, please encourage all Patrollers to let their voices be heard.

Rick H.
Eastern Division Director
