| VVA Chapter 343 Houston, Texas hosted the Texas State Council Meeting on June 5-7, 2009 The VVAFT Board of Directors meeting was held at 4:00 pm on Friday, June 5th. Besides normal business, our biennial elections were held. All four officers were re-elected along with those directors whose terms were up. There was one opening on the board of directors due to the passing of Lucio Moreno & at the meeting another director was dismissed due to excessive unexcused absences. Victor Flores & Al Navarro both submitted their resumes and requested to be seated on the board. Both were given time to make their case on what they could bring to the board in terms of experience, etc. Both were approved and seated on the board |
