It is with much regret that I inform you that I will not be running for President this year. Although I will remain on the E-board for the first 6 months of the new presidency to assist in the transition.
Vice President Mark Roche will not be running this year for Vice President.
It has been my honor to work alongside the current E-Board, our Committee members and our membership during the transition to POST and MPTC and the planning and implementation of several objectives and training programs throughout the last two years.
We have built strong relationships with our partner agencies including POST, MPTC, MSP Certification Unit, FBI, EOPPS, MSP Fusion Center, and JTTF and we will continue to advance the goals of the organization.
I encourage you to get involved, run for a seat on the Executive Board and be part of a strong, professional and progressive group of people to help move the membership forward.
It is a rewarding experience!
I want to thank Mark, Erin, and David for their dedication to the MACLEA E-Board and the membership. They have been a strong foundation as we worked toward our goals and I was blessed to work with each of them.
MACLEA NEEDS PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO BE PART OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD!
