I served three terms (6 years) as president of Penn-Ohio Locksmith Assn. I have been NE Director for 5 years. I have been on the Bylaws committee and we have tried to make the bylaws more member-friendly by allowing more members to vote on important items. I would like to see the member- ship climb back up to where it used to be. Part of this was the Board doing away with the re-certification program and making a voluntary points program in its place. I would appreciate your vote.
