Organizational Meeting; Special Meeting Dates Set

Tonight was the organizational meeting for the governing board of the LCESC. The following is the governance structure for the year: President - Angela Zimmann, VP - Karen Krause, Penta Board Rep - Joe Rutherford. Committee appointments remained unchanged from last year, although there are a few vacancies due to the lack of a 5th board member. The special meetings to appoint a new member are scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 19th (1:30 PM) and Thursday, Jan. 21 (4 PM). There are seven highly-qualified applicants for the position. It is encumbant upon the board to appoint a new member prior to the end of the month, and I will post as soon as a decision has been reached.
I will travel to Columbus on Jan 22/23 to be installed as a Trustee for OSBA, and to Findlay on Jan 30 for a Board Presidents' Workshop. Updates to follow!

Thank you, Angela, for the update: and, congratulations on becoming the President of the Board. I am confident that you will be excellent in your new role.

Incidentally, in that applicants to the vacant board seat are a matter of public record, I would appreciate it if you would provide the names and background information of those who are seeking the appointment to the vant position on the Governing Board of the Lucas County Educational Service Center.

Thanks, Angela. I personally know several of these candidates and am familiar with the remaining candidates. It's nice to know that there are so many very qualified and capable people interested in the position.
