On Friday morning the NoCASCOE Board of Directors held their meeting to conduct business and elect officers for
the 2008 – 2009 year and the results of the elections are: Jeanie Setser – Morgan, President; Lorraine Dillard, Vice-
President; and Martha Mills, Secretary/Treasurer. The newly elected officers will take office on July 1, 2008. I am
certain that NoCASCOE is in great hands! I look forward to working with these newly elected officers in the year to
come, and I know they will appreciate your help as well.
The Benefits Seminar was attended by a large number and from the responses I received was well worth the time to
attend.
This is just a brief summary of the activities of the convention and for those who were in attendance “Thank You” for
taking your time to attend, and spread the word so that we can have an even higher attendance next year!
Thank you,
Pam
