At its February meeting, the UMRA Board approved the membership of this year’s Nominating Committee and authorized it to go ahead. This is an annual process that seeks volunteers to serve on the board. These volunteers are responsible for directing our organization and promoting our programming. All board members and officers are UMRA members. The nomination process culminates in an election by our members during the UMRA Annual Meeting in May.
This year, there at least two open board seats and the position of president-elect to fill. The members of the Nominating Committee are:
• Jeanne Markell
• John Romano
• Peggy Mann Rinehart
• Barbara Shiels, current board member
• Jan Morlock, current president-elect
• Bill Donohue, past president
The committee has been hard at work for several weeks and expects to present its recommended nominations in the May 2021 UMRA News.
—Bill Donohue, Nominating Committee chair
Save the date: Tuesday, May 25, 12 noon. This meeting via Zoom will feature guest speaker Ken Powell, outgoing chair of the Board of Regents. We will also elect officers and directors to the board, approve the 2021–22 budget, and attend to other business of the Retirees Association.
