election

[Guest guest]

I want to say how proud I am of Lois Gerage Lamb stepping up to

the " big chair " as a candidate for LPA President. Lois has had elected

positions in LPA as District Dirctor and National VP of Programs. She

truely is an individual who cares about the membership . She has

demonstrated this time and time again as Vice President of Programs by

making sure the members and officers have been fully aware of all the

benefits of LPA through Adoption, Scholarship and Medical Financial

Assistance. She has remained a steady voice on the Executive Committee

through many years. She brings experience and dedication . When she was

considering whether she should run for President , I encouraged her,

because I know that she deserved the opportunity to shape the future of

LPA as President. With Lois's experience, she brings a network of

support and advisors that can be unmatched. Lois's work with District

Directors, Chapter Presidents and Executive Committees gives her broad

base of input that represents the membership. Lois has stepped up and

been a Conference Chairperson in Texas and other conferences.

I support Lois, because she has supported LPA and the membership

in so many ways. She has been a part of our past leadership and has

earned the right to take the reins and be responsible for the future.

She knows the membership... and will guide and serve us well in the next

two years. She's not about pettiness or bickering.... she's about moving

forward and keeping the peace. So I know she will mentor any new

Executive Committee members who come on board and will reach out to bring

new leadership in. Lois will be a stable force that will lead.
