2022 Executive Board

---

During the 2022 VMCA Annual Business Meeting (January 27, 2022), the 2022 VMCA board was announced:    

• Tim DuBois as past president
• Wes Robertson as president
• Betsy Hodson as president elect
• Rachel Stradling as vice president
• Carla Caulkins as first vice president
• Jay Kiser as secretary/treasurer
• Kurt Vandock as industry representative
• Jeff Hottenstein as MAMCA Representative   

On April 29, Rachel Stradling notified the executive board of her desire to step down from her position. We are sorry to see Rachel go, but we understand. 

From this action, Carla Caulkins has now been moved up to vice president and Addison (Addie) Weddle has graciously accepted the nomination and been voted in [by the VMCA Executive Board] as [Interim] First Vice President. Ms. Weddle will be serving out the remainder of the 2022 term in an interim capacity, but the hope is that she will wish to remain an active executive board member for years to come. 

That said, it has been brought to the board's attention that further personnel changes may be necessary in the not-so-distant future. Therefore, if you have ever considered becoming an active executive board member, now is the perfect time to attend meetings, ask questions, and learn about each of these important positions. 

Update (October 4)

It is with great sadness that I announce to VMCA membership the resignation of Elizabeth Hodson from the Executive Board. Elizabeth, or Betsy as many of us know her, has been a longstanding and very active member of the VMCA for many years. It is my understanding that she will now be embracing a new chapter in her life that will hopefully include some much-deserved R&R. While this news is hard to share, we all wish Betsy the best and hope to see her smiling face at some of our events in the future. Unfortunately, for VMCA this leaves a big hole to fill and once again, I find myself calling on membership to step up. If you or anyone you know would like to learn more about the inner workings of the Executive Board and the VMCA, feel free to reach out to me about the possibility of an interim spot in one of the officer positions. Thanks for all that you do!
