Mark Grandonico has been nominated for the position of Eastern Region Director for the Road Runners Club of America. Mark is currently the president of the Maine Track Club and has been on the RRCA Audit Committee for two years.

Voting for all positions will take place on May 2^nd in Cincinnati. If you have been a member in good standing as of April 19^th then you can vote. Member clubs can also send a proxy vote in. Mark has done some great work by bringing his fund raising and organizational skills to the Maine Track Club and as the Maine state representative to the RRCA, and I’m sure that he will do an excellent job if he is voted in as the eastern region director.
