Candidate for Area 3 Trustee

There is only one candidate for Area 3 trustee this year despite intensive efforts to identify another candidate. The Nominating Committee of the Area 3 Council solicited qualified candidates by writing to district branch and chapter presidents in Area 3. In addition, Area 3 members were asked at least twice by e-mail for nomination suggestions. The Area 3 Nominating Committee then contacted a number of potential candidates for this office asking them to run. When none of these efforts was successful, the chair of the Area 3 Nominating Committee sought the Area 3 Council’s approval of the unopposed candidate and forwarded his name to the speaker of the Assembly. The speaker reviewed the situation and, following approval by the Assembly Executive Committee, forwarded the name of the unopposed candidate, Roger Peele, M.D., for placement on the ballot. Voters are asked to vote “Yes” or “No” for Dr. Peele.

It has been my honor to represent Area 3 for the past two years, the Area that has most frequently initiated motions:

I want to continue to fight for these values as Area 3 Trustee.
