Changes to the EC!
Brad Bachelor, Oklahoma state director, volunteered for the open Executive Committee (EC) Secretary position, joining his first EC call in April. His good humor, communication skills and creative ideas make him a valuable addition to the EC.
Howard Baumwell, EC member for State Director/Volunteer Liaison, is leaving his position to be promoted to member at the end of July. He is being replaced by Rob Milton, who is also Wisconsin state director. Rob began joining monthly EC calls in May to get to know the other EC members and learn to take over Howard’s duties.
They are both very excited to be involved and the rest of the EC are delighted to have them on board!
