Calling All Candidates!
CalSPRA is only as strong as the leadership
provided by its members. We know you’re busier than
ever, but we need your help. Have you ever thought about
being an officer in CalSPRA? CalSPRA needs your leadership
now more than ever to help our profession grow and survive
in tough times. We could say that being on the CalSPRA board
is glamorous, financially rewarding, and a stepping stone
to the State Assembly, but that would be wrong. However,
it is professionally satisfying.
The CalSPRA Nominating Committee is asking members to consider
running for the open positions of President-Elect or Treasurer.
Our continuing officers include Joan Sieczkowski from Contra
Costa COE who will become President, Cindy Sabato from Palomar
College who will be Past President, and Terry Koehne from
San Ramon who will continue as Secretary.
The deadline for applications or expressions of interest is March 31. The only qualifications you need are to have one year in the field of school PR, be an active member of CalSPRA, and show some evidence that you know what you’re doing. The Nominating Committee, chaired by Past President Tom DeLapp, includes Joan Boiko from Palm Springs and Christy Rinauro from Tracy. Their job is to review the applications and recommend a slate of officers for next year. The ballots will be mailed to members in early April, and the results will be reported out at the May Communications Contest meeting in San Diego on May 14. Even if you don’t want the honor, then please give us a call with nominations of others who you think might be interested in serving. You can reach Tom DeLapp at (916) 315-1409 or tomdelapp@aol.com.
CalSPRA doesn’t just happen, you make it happen!
