After being elected to the position, Hamilton said, “It’s going to be another great year. I enjoy it. I really do.”

Thomas Bauer was then unanimously voted as vice chairman. FourStar was selected sergeant at arms.

Jason Hamilton agreed to serve as secretary/treasurer until another volunteer is willing to step up to take on the responsibilities.

Gourneau reported that the new gaming compact has been approved and signed.

“Thanks to the ones who fought for the gaming compact,” Holly Hamilton said. “That’s huge.”

Gourneau urged that WPCO should have more and more activities each year. “We always can do better and better,” she said. Gourneau noted that keeping communication open is important.
