The Treasurer position does have some qualifications which need to be met. Tish is correct, and Gail will ask the board to confirm Laurie. If Laurie ran, she was qualified for the position, and she did and she is. At the end of the year there will be an election. As I understand it, at this time, Laurie is willing to finish the term, but is not considering taking it on next year. We shall have to encourage her, and perhaps after she sees how smoothly the transition goes, she will change her mind. She is a great addition to our board.
