TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS Elder Council Elects New Officers At its January meeting, the Elder Council elected new officers. Jean Garrett was elected vice chairman and Kay Steele was re-elected as secretary. Emma Russell was elected to a treasurer position and Connie Hartt was re-elected to a treasurer position. Shirley Walker is chairman. Officers are elected every two years, with the exception of the chairman. A new chairman is elected on the opposite year of the election of other officers, which means this position will be up for re-election at the January 2004 meeting. This follows the guidelines of the Elder Council’s policies and procedures. The council would like to extend a big thank you to Albert Wallace, past vice chairman, and Wayne Case, past treasurer.
