New Board Design Opens 12 VEC Director Positions in 2010

by Dorothy Allard, Director District #6

Finally, the time has come! As you likely remember, at our Annual Meeting in 2009, members voted to create new VEC Director Districts to be implemented in 2010. The new District design is a hybrid, balancing District representation with other positions being elected “at large.” The entire territory has been divided into seven new, larger Districts, each District representing a nearly equal number of members. In addition, five Directors will be elected at large: two from the Eastern Zone and three from the Western Zone.
