Members of the Carolina Rugby Foundation have elected the following officers.
Chairman: Robert Balmer
Vice Chairman: John Hinks, Jr.
Secretary: Eric Geib
Treasurer: Micah Stewart
Sergeant at Arms: Chris Murphy
The Foundation expresses our enduring gratitude to Jeff Smolka and Phillip Rockefeller who are rotating off the Foundation board. We know they will continue to serve Carolina Rugby in other ways.
Lastly, we ask everyone to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom during this long Memorial Day weekend.
Board candidates and members
Over the last two weeks, the Carolina Rugby Foundation has received board nominations for chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer and sergeant-at-arms. Robert Balmer, chairman of the board, and John Roberts, a special liaison to board, spoke to all nominees.
Two enthusiastically accepted their nomination. The others expressed their support for the Foundation, but wanted to serve in another capacity. Phillip Rockefeller, current secretary, has also decided to serve the Foundation in a non-office role and has stepped down from that position.
“We have spoken to each nominee and they support our efforts to energize our Foundation membership and elevate our program,” said Balmer. “We look forward to working with them in the immediate future as we lay the groundwork for an exciting announcement.”
Nominees for the positions are:
Chairman: Robert Balmer
Vice Chairman: Jeff Smolka, John Hinks, Jr.
Secretary: Eric Geib
Treasurer: Micah Stewart
