R6 trio join OA board of trustees

ByMichael P.

Even after elections conducted at the World Service Business Conference, four openings remained on the board of trustees. The board issued a call for applicants, and now four trustees have been added. Three — Kim L., Blair P., and Bruce R. — are from Region 6.

All three have been doing service outside the group level for some time, and their new posts will almost certainly create service needs that need to be filled at the region level. Blair, for example, has been R6 secretary. So now would be a great time to step forward and offer your hand to help.

The fourth appointee is Preston F., from Region 5.
