Stella new DOT rep on PEF Exec. Board
One mid-term vacancy on the PEF Executive Board was filled in August. Special elections are underway to fill two other mid-term vacancies on the board.

As the only certified candidate for Seat 500 — representing members at the state Transportation Department’s Regions 1 (Schenectady) and 8 (Poughkeepsie) — Michael Stella was elected to fill the remainder of the three-year term which expires July 31, 2009.

A three-way race is being held for Seat 315, among Michael Auerbach, Joyce Cloutier and Terry Anderson.

Seat 315 represents certain members at the central offices of the state Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and PEF Region 8 members at the Capital District Developmental Disabilities Services Office.

Maddie Shannon-Roberts and Dale VanBuren are vying for Seat 450, which represents members at the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance in PEF Regions 6-8.

Ballots were mailed by the American Arbitration Association August 20. They must be returned by September 11 for counting September 12.
