In the most development, the board elected Bonnie Lenhard as Chair and Jim Stevens as Vice Chair for the upcoming year. Both were nominated and unanimously approved by their peers. The election of these officers marks the board’s readiness to tackle the year’s agenda with experienced leadership. Members were reminded that it is appropriate to vote for oneself when nominated.

Another important item was the adjustment to the board’s meeting schedule. The originally planned meeting on Labor Day, September 1st, was rescheduled to September 2nd. This change was incorporated into the standard reorganization resolutions, which were subsequently adopted by the board.

The board also addressed old business, approving a resolution related to the Island Baptist Church. The resolution had been circulated to members prior to the meeting, allowing for a swift approval process.

The meeting concluded with a warm welcome to new board members Andy Ajello and Amanda Parker. The board expressed enthusiasm for their contributions in the coming year. Additionally, Frank Little Jr., the board’s engineer, was sworn in for the year, with a commitment to provide truthful testimony in all board applications for 2025.
