CSTOCK Board of Directors Updates
The CSTOCK Board of Directors witnessed the end of an era at their recent meeting. Three Directors reached Emeritus status, serving their maximum of eight years, and left the Board of Directors. We are so grateful to Kathleen Kershaw, Brandon Myers, and Charles Platten for their years of leadership and service to CSTOCK.Kathleen has been our dedicated Treasurer for her entire term. Robert Forman will follow in her footsteps, and Kathleen will train him through the remainder of the year.
Charles and Brandon have been instrumental in forwarding CSTOCK's Policy Manual. They have also been instrumental in forwarding our technology and media ability. Charles is the wizard responsible for the wonderful commercials produced for many shows, and much of our official photography. Brandon started as the first Student Representative to the Board of Directors, and has been a strong team member in advancing our Strategic Plan.
We also welcome new Board Member, Valton Herman.

She will serve with Jessica Rothwell in a Student Leadership position, and advise the Board of the needs of our incredible youth volunteers.
