The Nominating Committee (Deborah Bunkley, Valerie Ash, and Gerry Barrons) presented a new slate at the LWVD Annual Meeting on June 18, 2022. Following approval, the membership voted to elect new officers and directors for 2022-2024.
This year the League has a new president, Rebeka Islam, who accepted this role knowing a superb team of seasoned leaders would support her. Rhonda Craig, the outgoing President, continues on the board as Secretary and ensures an orderly transition of power. Members praised Rhonda’s excellent leadership and gracious spirit. Her hard work and vigilance led the League through formative and challenging years.
The role of Voter Services Coordinator remains vacant until a member volunteers to accept the position, which we hope will be soon! If any member is interested in this role, please contact Gerry Barrons at lwvdetroit@gmail.com.
