Thank you Beth Walkup for heading up the “Cookie Day for Student.” Students enjoyed this special treat and so did faculty and staff.
Voting for Officers
Ms. Linda Daye had agreed to serve as President of the CSA during 2018-2019, but unable to serve at this time due to health issues. Two new candidates (Mary Canfield and Tammy Johnson) agreed to serve either as President or Treasurer. After an interim vote, Ms. Mary Canfield was elected as President and Tammy Johnson as Treasurer.
Congratulations to the new CSA officers for 2018-2019:
President - Mary Canfield
Vice-President - Cathy Sanders
Secretary - Connie Deacon
Treasurer - Tammy Johnson
Dr. John Capps spoke encouraging words of support to the CSA members present. He thanked everyone present and explained that the Classified staff is doing more than “pushing papers and completing tasks at CVCC, but helping students and the community.”
Francie, outgoing President, shared a photo presentation of the “CSA Journey 2016-2018,” thanked everyone that made these accomplishments successful, and encouraged everyone to work together to achieve more. Francie also gave a special thanks to Stephanie Keener (sister in CSA) and Twila DeMasters (her co-President).
