items where costs can be
reduced. This committee will
be charged with not only
identifying these activities
but doing the research to
gather the data and them
forming recommendations.
This committee will work
closely with Mr. Schlaack
and Ms. Bowser.
Mr. Schlaack and Ms.
Bowser have both been
instrumental in helping to get
me oriented and moving in
the right direction. Both of
them work hard and diligent-
ly in the pursuit of member
service and cost efficiency.
Please take a moment to tell
both of them how much you
appreciate their efforts.
Frankly, I will not be success-
ful in anything I attempt
without their assistance and
guidance. They are invaluable
in our efforts to move for-
ward.
And I close with my same
thoughts. We need you to be
here to help us. Come to the
Open Meetings. Volunteer for
the committees. We serve to
make this community better
for all that call it home.
Thank you to all of those that
do serve. It doesn’t happen
without you.
