Apr 29, 2010 | Member News, NIOA Board Insights, Vice-President's Observations
We wanted to pass along some news out of Region 9. Long time NIOA member and regional director Steve Frady from Reno Police and Fire has announced his retirement from Public Service effective May 6, 2010.
Steve has been a mentor and good friend to all of us and we wish him the best of luck in his retirement. With this in mind, Steve will also be stepping down as Regional Director of NIOA.
The Board has chosen Michele Anderson of the City of Reno to replace Steve as Region 9 Director.
Please be sure to congratulate both of these fine people for their accomplishments.
