Board Chair Report

By Peter Howard PSIA-E Examiner

Eastern Board Chair

I’ve been thinking hard about what to write and what would be interesting to read about. Certainly, of importance are the Zone 2 and 4 elections that are happening as we speak. I want to thank all the candidates for their interest and continued involvement in our organization and wish them best of luck in the election. I encourage you to read the enclosed statements from the candidates on page 8. In addition, there is a virtual membership meeting on Feb 15th at 7pm when you will get a chance to hear from the candidates, find more information on page 2.

If you live, or work in Zone 2 (Southern New England - Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island) or Zone 4 (South - Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida) I encourage you to be an informed voter. The candidate you vote for should be a person you could talk with and who listens. They should be someone you believe has the best interest of others at heart. They should be professional in demeanor and possess valuable life skills, beyond riding or skiing. How well do they fill out the Learning Connection Model? It is said there are 3 levels of involvement in life, those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wondered what happened.

The present members of your Board will surely welcome your choice of candidates from Zones 2 and 4. We will also miss, and would like to sincerely thank, long time Board Members
