RE: A Call for Board of Trustee Candidates
Dear CRASIF Members,
Our Bylaws require an annual call for
Board of Trustee candidates. Candidates
for the open board positions will be posted on a ballot sent out in July to the
membership. The results of the election
will be announced at the CRASIF Annual Meeting on Tuesday, September 24, 2024.
Every year we have at least three open
trustee positions. The Bylaws have geographical requirements for the Board of
Trustees. The nine (9) trustee
positions shall be comprised of three (3) trustee positions at-large from the
total membership of crasiF and
the remaining six trustees shall be comprised of two (2) trustees from each of
the following regions:
A.
The Upper Peninsula Road Builders Association region; and
B.
The Northern Michigan Association of Road Commissions
region; and
C.
The Association of Southern Michigan Road Commissions region.
This year CRASIF will need to fill, one
3-year Northern term, one 3-year UP term and one 3-year at-large term. Road Commissioners and road commission staff
are eligible to run.
The incumbent
Trustees whose terms are expiring have indicated that they are willing to serve
another term. They are:
·
Darrell Cass, Engineer-Manager, Menominee
·
Jesse Campbell, Managing Director, Alcona
·
Lisa Kleeman, Finance Director, Emmet
The enclosed documents will help you to
know Trustee expectations. Questions
regarding the position can be directed to either Joyce Porter, CRASIF
Administrator or myself.
Please send a letter indicating your
interest and qualifications on road commission letterhead to the attention of
the Board Secretary, Doris Baakko. Also
include a recent picture to include on the ballot. The letter and the picture can be sent to
