The Attachment indicates that there is a challenger for position
of the National
Regional III Vice President, a position held now by our own Donald
Stewart from
Coral Gables Florida.
I'm not suggesting that we should vote for Don merely because he
is from
Florida, but because he has served us well as Florida Federation
President and as the National Regional III Vice President. He has an excellent
record of communicating with the Chapters and answering specific questions and
issues raises by specific chapters but applying to all NARFE chapters. While on
the
National Board Don supported or raised issues regarding
Membership, Retention, Electronic Communication, and E-Chapters.
Dorothy Willis, Ormond Beach Chapter 2247 gave you our proxy vote
with full
trust that you would perform your duties at the Nation Convention
for the best interests of NARFE. We did this willingly because you would be
there with more up to date information than what we had then or now.
This point applies to Don as well. He has attended the National
Board meetings and before the secretaries notes were written Don was informing
the chapters of issues that were important and needed action. In short, he
inspired leadership at the regional level.
Therefore the Ormond Beach Chapter fully supports Donald Stewart
as the National Regional III Vice President, and instructs you to use our votes
to support Don in the upcoming election.

Mary Pierson
Candidate for
Region III Vice President
This is to announce
that I am a candidate for Region III Vice President.
My federal career
started in 1961 at Keesler AFB, MS and then in 1974 transferred to the U.S.
Naval Oceanographic Office at Stennis Space Center. I wore several hats
and one was Command Inspector, I have traveled to every continent except
Australia. I retired after 36 years of service to our country in December
1997.
My career with
NARFE started in 1998, serving my Chapter as President. Attending the
1999 Mississippi Federation Convention I was appointed as the Membership
Chairman. In 2000 I was elected 2nd Vice President of the Mississippi
Federation, and in 2003 I was elected as the Federation President. During
the same time, I served NARFE National as the Region III Pre-Retirement Seminar
Coordinator and assisted Director Ken Glass, when Ken retired, I was asked to
accept the office of Director of Pre-Retirement Seminars.
I have attended
numerous conventions, both National and Federations, not only in Mississippi,
but other states as well to increase my overall knowledge and understanding
NARFE’s goals and operation.
As Region III Vice
President I will work with Federations as liaison between them and National
Headquarters. I will work to grow membership and increase the member’s
knowledge and personal activity in all legislation to protect the benefits of
Federal Employees. I will also work with all Federations and Chapters to
increase their visibility in their State and local city by joining with other
organizations to sponsor various occasions that enable us to display the NARFE
name and banners. We are 91 years old and there are too many Federal
Employees that do not know who we are or what we do for them.
I am married to my
husband Donald and we have one daughter and two sons and 4 adult grandchildren.
