During its regular December meeting, the Board officially ratified three-year terms for six individuals to serve as voting Directors beginning April 1, 2012.
Three of the six Directors are incumbents and will conclude their current three-year term on the board March 31, 2012. Submitted to the general membership for approval, Trey Bryson, Glenn Carlton and Jim Fykes were re-elected to the Board.
Trey is President of Jet Works Air Center; the aviation industry is a significant part of the chamber’s economic development target market. Glenn is the Executive Director of the North Texas State Fair Association, which is a key ally and partner with the chamber’s Convention & Visitor Bureau. Jim is Director of Process Improvement and Alternative Fuels for Peterbilt Motors Division, Denton’s largest private sector employer.
New voting Directors include: Greg Johnson, Kimberly Reasoner and Jeff Reecer. Greg is the CEO and Managing Partner of Verus Real Estate Advisors. Kimberly is the Director of Corporate & Community Relations for the University of North Texas. Jeff is Vice President of Operations for Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. All three are graduates of the chamber’s Leadership Denton program.
In other action during the regular December Board meeting, Mark Burroughs was voted Chair-Elect of the Board for the program year beginning April 1, 2013; he will follow Chuck Fremaux, who will serve as the chamber’s chief voluntary officer during the up-coming 2012-13 Program Year.
Chuck owns Fremaux’s Metropolitan Catering, and has chaired the chamber’s Convention & Visitor Bureau Advisory Board the past three years. Mark is a local attorney and partner with the Sawko & Burroughs law firm. He is serving his second term as Mayor of Denton, is a graduate of the chamber’s Leadership Denton program, and heads the chamber’s Government Relations Division.
The symbolic transition of leadership will take place during the chamber’s annual membership meeting on Thursday evening, March 29 at the Gateway Center on the campus of the University of North Texas. Local banker Paul Chandler will pass the gavel to Chuck, signaling the start of a new 12-month program cycle. More details will be available soon.
