The Fruita Area Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to its members Sept. 19 to notify them about its nominations for the four open seats on the board of directors.

The chamber’s nominating committee, in accordance with its bylaws, met Sept. 12 and submitted the following nominees for three-year terms: Kristin Lee, Vectra Bank; Mai Oachs, Monument Vista Place; Sam Bussard, Family Health West; and Natalee Torres, Republic Services.

Per the chamber’s bylaws, additional candidates for the board of directors may be nominated by petition. The petition must bear the signatures of at least 5 percent of members (21 signatures) and be filed with the nominating committee by submitting it to the chamber president/CEO within 10 days of the notice it gave Sept. 19.

If no additional candidates are nominated by petition, the slate of nominees listed above will be presented during the Oct. 15 board meeting, where a final vote will be made.
