By REED WALLER
Staff Writer
Despite the bitter weather, all members were present at the Tuesday, Jan. 3 annual Organizational Meeting of the NRHEG Board of Education — including new members-elect Dan Schmidt, Karen Flatness, and Neil Schlaak.
Board chair Rick Schultz called the meeting to order, and the new members were sworn in.
Rick Schultz was unanimously re-elected as Chairman, and JoAnn Maloney was elected Vice-Chair, replacing departed member Michele Moxon.
Neil Schlaak nominated Travis Routh as clerk.
Routh expressed some insecurity about his qualifications for the job.
