RE: 2025 Nominations for new Officers
The Nominating Committee was formed by the President in on April 8, 2025. Our mission was to
nominate willing individuals (some supported by teams) with the best skills and experience to lead us
through the Island Rebuild. Below is the resulting slate of nominees to be voted on at the Memorial Day
Weekend Meeting.
President: Jeni Robinson
Jeni is currently serving on the IHC Board and is knowledgeable about the rebuild process, challenges
and priorities. Communication and management skills are her particular strengths.
Vice President: Scott MacPherson
As past President Scott will be a strong resource for the President and provide continuity of knowledge
about the rebuild process.
Treasurer: Will MacPherson
Will has agreed to continue as Treasurer for the next term to further develop new ways to manage our
finances for the rebuild, continuing the work begun in his first term.
Secretary: Julia Wheeler
Julia has been serving on the Island Rebuild Committee and has at times already filled in for Kate Roloff
taking minutes at IHC meetings.
Clerk: Dave Robinson
As required for anyone serving as Clerk, Dave is a resident of Maine. He already has been involved with
the Town of Georgetown Planning Board and is prepared to represent the IHC with Georgetown and the
State of Maine.
Cookhouse Manager: Gail Yalenezian
Though we don’t anticipate having a functioning Cookhouse during the upcoming officer term, this is a
Board position required by our bylaws. Gail’s vision for this position in the interim is to work with
volunteers to organize community-wide events.
Island Engineer: Michael Walker
Michael will serve by managing the many systems and processes under the Engineer’s purview with the
help of multiple volunteers—a form of delegation that he is very familiar with in his professional life and
that will facilitate his ability to fulfill the role when he is physically away from the island for work.
Currently, Michael is serving on the IRC, so he is well informed about our progress and our future
challenges, and he is accustomed to participating in discussions and decision-making remotely as
needed.
