If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
This could be the analogy some people would use to describe the acclamation of Rob Gay and Susan Clovechok as RDEK chair and vice-chair for another year.
On Friday, Electoral Area C director Gay was acclaimed for his 14th term as chair.
“Our board is highly effective and a big part of that successful working relationship lies in our collective effort to be collaborative and respectful of differing opinions. This makes for good, well-rounded discussion and decision making,.”
Gay has been on the board since 2005 and is the RDEK’s longest serving chair. November 8 marked his 157th consecutive meeting.
Electoral Area F director Clovechok is serving her fifth year as vice-chair, and said, “Over the past four years I have deeply valued the learning opportunities I have had, not only in this capacity as vice chair, but from my fellow directors around the table who are all strong leaders in their communities.”
