I would like to welcome you all to a new season. First and foremost I would like to thank Warren Osborne, Gayle Bradley, and the rest of the board members who have shaped and formed this organization for the past three plus years. They have worked hard, and have contributed personal time, personal money, and have shown the patience of saints.
This season we have a change in leadership, and a shifting of board members. Mid last season, Gayle Bradley stepped down from the board. I was then elected onto the board and became the representatives of the Northwest. At the end of this season Warren Osborne has stepped down from the Executive Directorship, and I was elected the new Executive Director for this upcoming season. Also, Donovan Phillips was elected to be on the board as well. We also had a shift in the Treasurer/Secretary positions. Ray Devanna has recently stepped down as the Secretary/Treasurer. In his place, Chris Baker was elected the Secretary, and Hester Bradley has returned as the Treasurer of our organization. Steve Singer, Gary Bond, and Scott Devanna have remained on the board.
I am hoping with this new transition, we can continue to hold great competitions, continue to educate the public, and expand our organization. Our mission remains the same: To promote knife safety, provide workshops and cutting competitions for its members, and to inform and educate the public with regard to the safe use of a knife as a tool.
