RE:        2017 FALL REGIONAL MEETING ELECTIONS

It doesn’t seem possible but the start of the 2017 fall regional meetings is upon us. As you know your Regional Chairperson, Tony Kuklinski and  Regional  Secretary (host district superintendent), Jon Ballard will host the Fourth Region Fall Regional Meeting on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. These meetings are essential opportunities for our members to socialize and learn about important education topics. In the next few weeks, your regional chair and secretary will mail detailed information about the time and location of the regional meeting.

Since your region is one of the six regions that will be conducting elections for a new regional chair, attached please find a Nomination Form for any school board member who wishes to place his or her name in consideration for regional chairperson. If interested, please complete the nomination form in its entirety. The form must be received by your

A nominating committee will  be convened  and nominees will  be announced  at your regional meeting.

you have any questions. Enclosure
