Late last year the CAPE Board of Directors announced a deliberate process to fill a vacancy on the Board. All of the candidates were required to submit their history of CAPE service, be interviewed by the Board, and provide a written statement about why they wished to serve.
On March 22nd, the Board chose Lisa Andres to fill the vacancy. Lisa is an Appraiser at the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office and a member of CAPE Bargaining Unit 131. She is a career-long CAPE member (15 years and counting). She has also served and participated in virtually every volunteer activity available to CAPE members, including the following:
• CAPE Delegate / Worksite Leader
• Three-time Contract Negotiating Team Member
• Two-time member of our Political Endorsement Committee
• “Fair Share” campaign volunteer •
CAPE Election Committee Volunteer
• CAPE Telephone Bank Volunteer
• Joint Labor-Management Committee Volunteer
• And as a current Trustee on the CAPE Benefit Trust Board of Directors
Lisa was officially sworn-in at the regularly scheduled CAPE Board meeting on April 12th. She had the following to say of her appointment, “I believe deeply in the work of our union and I am grateful for this opportunity to serve. I promise to work hard with my fellow colleagues on the Board to ensure that the career interests of Los Angeles County professionals are well-served.”
Filling a vacancy on the Board is never an easy task. The Board wishes to thank all of the CAPE members who volunteered for the position for their willingness to serve and their ongoing commitment to CAPE.
