CHAMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS SLATE RECOMMENDED

The recommended Slate of Officers and Directors for 2006 of the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce has been submitted by the Nominating Committee and distributed to the voting members.

As set forth in the Bylaws, the Nominating Committee was charged with creating a recommended Slate of officers and directors to fill those vacancies for the coming year as a result of the expiration of terms of some of the current directors and to select specified officers for the coming year.  This year, four regular director positions (of three years) were available, as well as the President-Elect Position.  With the selection of one board member to fill the President-Elect position, a one-year term also came open.

The Nominating Committee reviewed the qualifications of several outstanding Chamber members expressing an interest in serving on the Board.  Chairman of the Committee Gregg Mason noted that the Committee worked diligently to fulfill its mission and the slate as recommended will provide the Chamber with an infusion of new ideas, commitment and knowledge.
