In true Rural Caucus style, we held our meeting around a pick-up truck outside the facility that housed the Convention's general session.
Among other business was the election of officers for the coming year. The results of the election are as follows:
Arika Kulhavy, Chair
Daniel Melder, Vice Chair
Jasmine Bruns, Secretary
Justin Hudspeth, Treasurer
Our new Chair has outlined some bold and exciting goals to be accomplished over the next year. Look for a lot of great things from this Caucus in the coming months.
