The foundation also elected officers for 2013 recently, and those include:
– President Adam Cole,
– Vice President Steve Lyons,
– Secretary Rick Lewis as Secretary,
– Treasurer Wilma Swango.
Other individuals serving on the Foundation’s board include: Nancy Craig, Roy Leap, Ruth Lohide, and Bruce Williams.
The foundation’s board members can serve a maximum of two three-year terms. Joy Briggs, Steven Konkle, and Roger Parrott all retired from the board in December.
Foundation President Adam Cole said: “Joy, Steven, and Roger have all been tremendous assets to the foundation and they will be greatly missed. The foundation is certainly a better organization because of their contributions.”
