Post Elections In accordance with our Post Bylaws, elections will be held at our May meeting.
Commander Rayman has completed his two-year term and is not seeking re-election. First Vice Commander (1VC), Mark Doble is on the ballot to serve as commander.
First Vice Commander – Position Open This person serves as the membership officer and would serve out the remainder of Mark’s term (1 year). Interested? Email Cindy: adjutantpost594@gmail.com
Second Vice Commander – Bri Beltran will remain in office
Sargeant-at-Arms – Mike Peiffer will remain in office
Post Service Officer – Position Open, seeking a candidate. We have been very fortunate to have Neil Hetherington in this position as he has been serving Dakota County Veteran Services for the Treatment Court, but has broader connections to all services the county provides. Neil is retiring and a candidate for this office is needed. If you know of someone or you are interested, again contact Cindy.
Per Roberts Rules of Order nominations are also taken from the floor. If you would like to serve, please reach out to the commander and offer up your name for election
