Hello Region 9 Delegates!
First, I want to thank all of you for your support in the recent Regional Director elections. It is an honor to serve as your Region 9 Director and I look forward to working with you in the coming months.
I know it hasn’t been that long since our statewide convention in May, but we already have an Executive Board meeting coming up on August 18th. For the first time, E-Board will be held in the Central Valley at the Visalia Marriott & Convention Center!
Before any Convention or Executive Board, our region meets per our bylaws. Our Region 9 meeting will be hybrid, allowing for virtual and in-person attendance.
For those attending in person, we will be meeting at the Aromas Grange, 400 Rose Avenue in Aromas, CA 95004, please RSVP at the link below. For those that will attend virtually, a Zoom link will be sent after you RSVP.
