Call For Nominations

Posted: April 27, 2017

Everyone,

At the annual conference we will be voting for two board positions; 1^st VP and 2^nd VP. Chief Hutto, our current 2^nd VP, recently announced that he will be stepping down as chief of police in May. His departure leaves the position of 1^st VP unoccupied beginning July 1. Per our bylaws, Chief Heberer will be the interim 2^nd VP until we vote in a new board member, at which time Chris will resume his position of Secretary/Treasurer. Chris, thank you for your willingness to help out!

The good news is that Chief John Camper (Grand Junction) has been nominated for the 1^st VP position and Chief Gary Creager (Broomfield) has been nominated for 2^nd VP.  I have spoken with both chiefs and they are willing to serve the CACP in those respective capacities.

For those considering a nomination for either position, please keep in mind that our incoming president is in Alamosa.  The CACP board is in agreement that diverse representation from around our state is the optimum make-up of the board; large and small agencies, rural and urban, etc. That being said, it would be strategically beneficial to have a chief in or near the metro area able to handle CACP business. This will aid board members who are geographically distant from the Metro area to have a board member “close to the action” so to speak. As you consider nominations please keep in mind some the of the travel/logistical requirements of the two open positions.

Therefore, consider this an official call for nominations! If we receive no other nominations for 1^st or 2^nd VP we will call for vote from the floor during the annual conference. If we receive additional nominations for either or both of the board openings we will follow CACP bylaws in the election process.

My personal thanks to Chief Hutto for your service to the CACP and to Colorado law enforcement. You will be missed in your role in the association!

To Chief Camper and Chief Creager, thank you for your willingness to step up and serve the CACP!

Drop me a line if you have any questions!

Thanks!
