The Prez Sez

Dear Alfisti,

It has been some time since our board elections took place, and many of you may be wondering why we have not published the results before now. The reason is that we wanted to wait for the results of the bylaws ballot which was held separately in March. You may recall that one of the significant changes in the proposed new bylaws was to reduce the number of elected board members from 12 to 8. It didn’t make sense for us to publish the list of board members until we knew if the new bylaws had been approved by the membership.

We are delighted to be able to report that the new bylaws were approved by an overwhelming majority of those who sent in completed ballots – in fact it was virtually unanimous. Just as satisfying was the high level of participation in the ballot, which means that an awful lot of people took the time to read the proposal and vote. Thank you all for making the effort; your strong support means that we now have a popular and legitimate update to our antiquated bylaws.

With this result, the 2010 board now consists of 8 elected members plus an Executive Advisor, a post awarded to the most recent President to have served on the board. The four officer positions (President, VP, Treasurer and Secretary) which were announced at the banquet in January remain unchanged following the adoption of the new bylaws. The Trustees now consist of the four candidates with the highest vote totals who do not already hold officer or advisor posts.

The 2010 board of directors is therefore as follows:

President – Dave Johnson
Vice President – Tony Cavaliere
Treasurer – Dan Romeo
Secretary – Dennis Sbertoli
Executive Advisor – Carmelo LaSpina
Trustee – Giovanni D’Avola
Trustee – Victor Severino
Trustee – Kirk Boone
Trustee – Wayne Seely

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all of the retiring 2009 board members: Don Brubaker, Sandy Ganun, Jim Hand, Chuck King, Paul Sorci, Gregg DeZutti, and Jeff DeZutti. Most of these gentlemen have served on the board for many years, and all have served with dedication and distinction. Your efforts are very much appreciated, for without your hard work the club would not exist.

Dave Johnson
CAROC President
