Nominee/Club |
Statement |
| Governor-Elect |
Robin Hall, Lake City, FL
|
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I want to be a
District Officer because I embrace the principles and ideals of Altrusa.
It’s a joy to participate in club visits by sharing ideas and celebrating
successes. I would bring to the District Board of Directors years of proven
counseling and leadership experience. My top priority would be recruitment
and retention of members and to provide clubs with the tools to accomplish
this goal.” |
Janis McNemar, Statesville, NC |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I
want to be a District Officer because having served this biennium as the
Vice Governor along with Governor Cindy Schad, I now have a deeper
understanding for the commitment required to serve District Three. I have a
greater appreciation for the role of governor having watched the time and
energy our sitting governor has given to Altrusa.”
|
| Vice-Governor |
Beverly Hardy, Starke, FL |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I want to be a District Officer because knowledge of our district membership,
my positive attitude about the direction our district needs to take, and experience serving as District Treasurer and District Financial Consultant are
valuable assets for Vice Governor service. My business experiences enable me to be a good marketing and public relations representative for our District."
|
Mary Reynolds, Atlanta, GA |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I
want to be a District Officer because I feel that I bring my experience of
leadership as a member of the District Three Foundation Board for four
years, and I would bring to the District Board of Directors my firm
commitment to the belief that we have to be good for something.” |
| Treasurer |
Danelle Hills Chapel Hill, NC |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I want to be a
District Officer because I understand what Altrusa leadership stands for,
aiming for excellence in ourselves, personal development for all our
members, and making a positive difference wherever and whenever we can. I
would bring to the District Board of Directors my needed accounting skills,
teamwork experience, Board experience, and proven character. I am dedicated
to sharing and furthering Altrusa’s goals.” |
| Nominees for Director |
Linda Arnold Waynesville, NC |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I
want to be a District Officer because I can transmit my enthusiasm to the
District membership in a low-key manner. This is also an opportunity to
connect my own club’s new members with involvement on the District and
International levels. I would bring to the District Board of Directors a
voice of trust and leadership.” |
Dana Crase Starke, FL |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I want to be a
District Officer because I feel my main asset is that I am a motivated and
very enthusiastic leader. There is nothing I am more enthusiastic about than
Altrusa and its principles.” |
Michella Huff Mt. Airy, NC
|
“In addition to my love for Altrusa, I
want to be a District Officer because I want the opportunity to network with
so many talented individuals. I have attended four Altrusa conferences and
each time I attend I am inspired to get more involved. Altrusans throughout
District Three devote so much time to worthy community projects. I would
bring to the District Board of Directors a positive attitude and a strong
desire to serve.” |
Linda Mews Chapel Hill, NC |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa,
I want to be a District Officer because my career in marketing may assist
Altrusa in recruitment. As former executive of an international non-profit
organization and former president of a Chamber of Commerce, I was
responsible for finances, projects and administration. I’m committed to
District’s top standing in Altrusa. I’m a team player, goal-oriented, and
hard-working.” |
Susy Meier Atlanta, GA |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa,
I want to be a District Officer because I want to see Altrusa grow as an
organization and community. The leadership skills I have acquired through my
experience can be enhanced and help the District to grow and prosper. I
would bring to the Board of Directors a positive and energetic outlook,
analytical skills, and a strong desire to assist the leadership of District
Three.” |
Norma Teuton North Georgia, GA |
“In addition to my love for Altrusa,
I want to be a District Officer because I believe that I have gained
knowledge in many areas of Altrusa while forming a new Altrusa club and
would bring to the District Board of Directors the enthusiasm and excitement
for Altrusa that all of my club members possess in order to help District
Three increase and retain membership in the next biennium.” |
