To All Club Members:
Your club needs you!
Officer elections will be held during our Annual Business Meeting at the Amana, Iowa event.
Several of our current officers have graciously agreed to seek another term of service, and we are
sincerely grateful for their continued commitment to our club.

At the same time, several long-serving officers have chosen to retire as their terms come to an
end. Their dedication, leadership, and countless hours of volunteer service have helped shape the
Freightliner Chassis Owners Club into the organization it is today. Their contributions have left a
lasting legacy that will continue to support our mission of providing education, friendship, and
camaraderie for our members.

After many years of outstanding service, Tom Bernardi will be retiring as Treasurer. If you are a
CPA or have accounting or financial management experience, this is an excellent opportunity to
serve the club and help ensure its continued financial strength.
We are also seeking candidates for the following positions:
 Vice President of Business Administration – an important leadership role focused on
maintaining the club’s financial health while helping expand the benefits and services
available to our members.
 Vice President of Eastern Operations – a key position supporting our eastern-region
events and members.

Our club has always been built by members who are willing to share their time and talents. If
you have ever considered becoming more involved, now is a wonderful opportunity to make a
difference.

If you are interested in serving in any of these positions or would like additional information
about the responsibilities involved, please contact us. We would be pleased to answer your
questions and place your name on the election ballot.
