The BoD elections for 2008 are finally complete.  It took much longer than normal to complete the election process due to the excellence of the nominee's.  In a step forward this year, each State Captain was asked to submit a nomination also.

Every candidate was considered carefully, and the only difficulty was that we had only two seats to fill; the position vacated by our fallen brother Tommy Poss, and that of Randy Stevens.  Steam's seat was originally held by Ronny Awtry..

We are pleased to announce the two new members of the Board of Directors; Tom "Taz_59" Hoffman and Pete "dynagc" Waddell.  Pete will be the new Vice President - Members, and Tom will take the position of Corporate Secretary. 

Pete Waddell has been active in the PGR leadership for almost the entire existence of the organization. In Arkansas, Pete has been a member of the flag line, a Ride Captain, and State Captain.  When the Regional Captain position was created, Pete was selected to the South Central Region Captain, a position he has held till this change.

Tom Hoffman has been an active member in Texas, where he has also been deeply committed to our Help On The Homefront program.  Tom has served as the HOTH Daily Operations Manager, National Fund Raising Administrator and later as the HOTH Director, in addition he has assisted with corporate administrative needs such as flyers, organizational charts, the HOTH funding requests, reviewing the 501c3 submission, and many other items.

We look forward to the fresh perspectives and viewpoints of the new BoD members and have confidence that they will serve the membership and the organization to the best of their ability.  We also thank all of the nominees as well as those that participated in the nomination process.  Please take a moment to welcome Tom and Pete to their new positions!
