Hello Dogwood Family, we hope that all is well with all of you.
Normally I discuss membership information in my article, but this time around, I am switching hats and going to discuss Dogwood elections.
As you all know, this is an election year for our chapter to fill Executive Board and Nominating Committee positions for the 2027-2028 term, and we need your help. Elections will be held in the September 2026 time frame.
The following information provides a list of all positions which must be filled and the status of members currently serving in those positions.
Executive Board
President: Ed Herbert Will not seek reelection
VP of Membership: Jim Buelow Will seek reelection
VP of Communication: Dave Meyer Will seek reelection
VP of Rallies: Del Tenney Will not seek reelection
Secretary: Mary Lou Dudziak Will seek reelection
Treasurer: Sonia Kuppert Will seek reelection
National Director: Ed Herbert Will not seek reelection
Alt Nat Dir: Rob Hill Will seek reelection
Nominating Committee
Nominating Committee Chairman: Jim Buelow Will not seek reelection. This position will be filled by immediate past President Ed Herbert per Dogwood policy.
Nominating Committee Member: Rob Hill Will seek reelection
Nominating Committee Member: David McFarlane Will seek reelection
So, as you can see, we need a President, a VP of Rallies, and a National Director to fill the vacancies for the next term.
First, we want to thank President Ed Herbert and VP of Rallies, Del Tenney for their dedicated service to our Chapter. Ed has served as President for the past six years and as National Director for the past two years and has done a fantastic job leading our Chapter. Del has served for three years as our Rally Master and has also done a super job. Thank you both for your outstanding service and dedication.
And thank you very much to the Executive and Nominating Committee Board members who have stepped up for another term. Your actions and performance have taken Dogwood to another level, and we are grateful for your continued service.
The next step in this process is to seek volunteers to fill the vacant positions, and as was said earlier,we need your help. We cannot legally operate our Chapter without filling these positions.
There is a lot of talent among the current membership in Dogwood and we ask that you will seriously consider and step up to fill one of the vacant positions. We can assure you that whomever steps up, will not be left hanging out there. Assistance can and will be provided to assist you with questions and guidance to ensure that you are successful in the position you decide to accept.
And if you have any questions at this time about a specific position, contact Ed, Del, or one of the Nominating Committee members, and we will get you answers.
And to volunteer for a position; please contact one of your Nominating Committee members as soon as possible. Please support your Chapter.
Regards and Safe Travels,
Your Nominating Committee
