Statement
Governor-Elect Robin Hall,

“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,

“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,

“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,

“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 would bring to the District Board of Directors a positive attitude and a strong desire to serve.”
Linda Mews

I’m committed to District’s top standing in Altrusa. I’m a team player, goal-oriented, and hard-working.”
