Members,
At the time of this writing, Rick and I have been placed
into the office of First Vice-President and Second
Vice-President for the VMA Executive Board. We do not know how
any pending litigation will effect our positions on the Board.
However, as a current members of the Board, we would like to
make a brief statement. Please rest assured that the officers
currently on the Board are still actively working to represent
all members of the VMA. Without a question, the current
litigation has served as a barrier to our plans for making the
VMA a better advocate for each of you, and the entire
magistrate system. However, we have continued to formulate
plans, and have begun to act in many ways on behalf of the
membership. We continue to reach out to individual members,
and your elected regional representatives to gain insight to
issues that are important to the membership throughout the
state. As we acquire
this information, our full intent is to work on the issues
seen as most important to our members. We continue to strive
to make the VMA seen as a professional organization that is
willing to work with all levels of state government to ensure
that issues important to magistrates are discussed, and
meaningful solutions are enacted.
The Board is
not dysfunctional,
but surely is not operating at the full potential that we had
hoped would be occurring by this time of the year. The pending
litigation has certainly had a negative effect on the boards
effectiveness, but has not completely brought the efforts of
its' members to a complete standstill. We will continue to
work for each of you as hard and effectively as possible. This
is why each person on the board has volunteered to be placed
in office, and we will continue to do whatever we can at this
time, and certainly as we move forward.
Thank you
for taking time to hear from us!
Sincerely,
Wayne Frye,
First Vice-President

Executive Board
Rick Nagel,
Second Vice-President
