05/19/2006: "Replacement Sought: SJC Board Public Health"

Friday Harbor, WASH. – Commissioner Robin VanHyning resigned from the Board of San Juan County Public Health District #1 at their meeting May 19, 2006 ending six years of service. Ms. VanHyning is leaving due to employment changes. The Hospital Board is seeking candidates for appointment as an interim commissioner who will serve until the next general election.

"Robin has been a very active and contributing member of the Board for over six years," said Hospital Board Chairperson Lenore Bayuk. "We will all miss her."

Hospital Board Commissioner is an elected office. However, when a member resigns, the Board appoints an individual to fill the position on an interim basis. The Board is seeking an interested and qualified community member to fill the recently vacated position until the next general election. Anyone interested in serving on the Hospital Board and being involved in an exciting growth time for the Hospital District on San Juan Island should call Commissioner Lenore Bayuk, Chairperson at 378-3636, ext. #1.
