2015 Director Nominees

One of the things that makes Yankee successful is a strong board of directors. Our Nominating Committee is dedicated to providing a diverse selection of candidates for members to vote on. At our upcoming annual meetings in April there will be four positions to vote for: three 3-year terms, one in each region; and a 1-year term for Region 3. The 1-year position this year is to fill the remainder of the term of director Paul Saenger, who unfortunately passed away in October.

The Nominating Committee met yesterday to interview potential candidates for director.

The following members were nominated for the three 3-year terms:

Region 1
Rocklyn Giroux (incumbent)
Dr. Marco Turco

Region 2
Samuel Lincoln
Bradley Maxwell (incumbent)

Region 3
David Folino
Theodore Foster (subsequently removed his name from consideration)
Stephen Taylor (incumbent)

The following members were nominated for the 1-year term:

Region 3
Jane Clifford
Rene Saenger
Miles Tudhope
