Notice of ACBL Unit 143 Director Changes
Debbie Romero resigned from Unit 143's Board of Directors effective August 30. At the September 11 board meeting, the board nominated and elected John Levis to replace Debbie. John will complete Debbie's term which ends Oct 31, 2020.
No petitions to join the board of directors were received by the August 20 deadline so no runoff election is needed. The four nominated candidates automatically take office on November 1.
Current board members Diane Deutch and Kelly White were serving as board-appointed members and will commence duly elected three-year terms on November 1.
Incoming new board member Maureen Curran will join the board for a three year term commencing November 1.
Incoming new board member Jim Cooper resigned his position on the board on September 3. The board of directors will elect a replacement to complete Jim's three-year term which would have begun November 1. The nomination process is underway.
