HCGS votes in

A special meeting of members of the Hopkins County Genealogical Society was called at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023 by President, John A. Sellers, for the specific purpose of electing Executive Board Members for the 2024 calendar year.

The slate of nominated officers was: „ President — John A.

Sellers „ 1st Vice President — Rhonda Bechhold „ 2nd Vice President — CarolAnn Dixon

„ Treasurer — Pat Goggans

„ Librarian/Recording Secretary — Sue Tittle

„ Corresponding Secretary — Maggie Mae Sherrow

„ Archivist — Earl Pogue

„ Parliamentarian — W.

G. White, Jr.

Under bylaws, 20 members must be present to constitute a quorum. A quorum was present to elect new officers for 2024.

The special called membership meeting was called to order by President, John A. Sellers at 5:02 p.m. President Sellers explained the reason for the meeting and asked W. G. White, current Parliamentarian, to confirm the presence of at least 20 members to satisfy the requirement for a quorum. W. G. confirmed that requirement was met, and President Sellers handed the meeting over to Rhonda Bechhold, First Vice President and Nominating Committee Chairman to read the nominated slate of board members. Bechtold thanked two other committee members, Enola Gay Mathews, and Don Fausett for their service.

President Sellers began the voting process, but a motion was made by Paula Altenbaumer to accept the slate of officers by acclamation, and the motion carried. A vote on the entire slate was then requested by President Sellers and the vote carried 24-0 in favor of the slate of members as presented. Because the members of the 2024 Hopkins County Genealogical Society Executive Board are the same as the 2023 Board previously sworn into office, swearing-in was not required.
