considered. It
is expected that
Cherry will
pass the gavel to

to the office of president-elect. The
committee will also recommend
someone to serve as vice president
and another to carry out the duties
of minority director.
Counties will vote on the officers
during the Business Session, and
each county will have one vote. Then
that evening, Money will present his
priorities for the coming year at the
President’s Banquet.
