Janell Jellison is also welcomed to the Board as the Samuel Woods Award Winner for 2011.
“I am so pleased to have the opportunity to continue the tradition of serving the needs of our community,” Peckham said. “My time working with the people on this Board has been incredibly meaningful, and I am thankful for these individuals that volunteer their time and talents as board members.
