“Behold the turtle, for he progresses, only when he sticks his neck out.” I found this quote to be so thought-provoking I had to share it with you. And I challenge you all to: BE THE TURTLE!

“How?,” you ask.

By nominating yourself to run for an Officer or Board Member for VRA.

Nominations are now being accepted. If you cannot run yourself, but know someone who would love to be asked to run, please submit their name and phone number. The nominations committee will approach them.

Nominations are being solicited for PRESIDENT-ELECT, SECRETARY, A BOARD MEMBER FROM THE TIDEWATER REGION (Region V), and two BOARD MEMBERS AT LARGE.

The goal for the committee this year is to have contested races for every office. Those running for office MUST BE members.

Send the name, address and home number of the nominee and the nominator’s name and phone number to Shirley Lyons, 16012 Gary Avenue, Chester, Virginia 23831 or call 804-262-6665 (w) or 804-520-8892 (h) or email at momlions@aol.com.

Elections this year will be held in August, closing prior to the Annual Meeting during the Collaborations Workshop.
