Changing of the Guard, The

This is a relatively quiet year as far as changing of the guard is concerned. The President and two Vice presidents all have another year to serve, so only the position of Secretary, which is on a three-year rotation, changed this year. The board welcomed Heidi Campbell Shoaf as the incoming Secretary. Of the four elected to the Board of Directors this year, two - Richard Bradshaw and Patrick Lasswell - are already familiar faces at the board meetings, as both of them had been appointed to fill un-expired terms of board members who had become officers. Newcomers Sara Holmes and Don Stark are both long-time members and will be familiar to those who attend Brown auctions. When Sara's father, Mickey Holmes, was involved with the auction, Sara often tended the registration desk. Don is still to be seen as part of the auction crew at the Harrisburg and Camp Hill events. We welcome them all and look forward to the ways in which the EAIA will benefit from their experience and enthusiasm.

Simultaneously we thank those who have completed their terms of service. Linda Stanton served on the Board for two terms before taking up the duties of Secretary. Terry Page served one term on the Board including chairing the Budget and Finance Committee. George Lott had been appointed to fill an unexpired term of one who became an officer, but he declined the invitation to continue on the Board, preferring to serve EAIA in other ways, as he has long done to such purpose that he received a Long Time Service Award last year.
