The first ever balloting for election of the AzOSA Board Members was a success! The reason for initiating this is to increase AzOSA membership participation, made easier by not requiring members to travel to the meeting place for their division in order to vote.
The Board Members elected are:
Michael Calcagno, Sal Giardina, Vern Hartz, Joseph Kezele, Joe Sebeny, Scott Sorum, Mark Stockwell, and Jacen Wyke.
In turn, the Board elected the Officers as follows:
President, Joseph Kezele
Treasurer, Peggy Matney
Secretary, Jacen Wyke
The Vice-Presidents for each Division were either elected by the Board or appointed by the President:
Gila – Michael Calcagno
Maricopa – currently vacant – appointment pending.
Mohave – Joel Fisher
Pima – Mark Stockwell
Yavapai – Joe Sebeny
Sales – Vern Hartz
Cochise Division is not active at this time. If someone wants to step up and get things going again down there, please call Joseph Kezele at 480-540-8953, or email him at joseph.kezele@gmail.com.
Also if anyone is interested in starting up a Division in other counties of Arizona, please contact Joseph Kezele. The goal is to reach every area of Arizona, no matter how sparsely populated it may be.
