Regional Directors Assigned & Ready
 Four Regional Director positions was established which shall break down the Commonwealth into a Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern Regions. Each Regional Meeting shall be advisory and shall not bind the Board or the Association and shall be subject to Board approval at a State Association Meeting if such action on something is necessary. President Rector stated "bringing the Regional Directors back at least dividing the Commonwealth into four Regions should hopefully get more Constables & Deputy Constables involved in the Association activities by being able to attend a Regional meeting if they can't always attend the State meetings and having their voice heard". The Regional Directors include Darrell Florence serving as the Northern Regional Director, Darvin Stom serving as the Western Regional Director, Jim McKenzie serving as the Eastern Regional Director and as of the time of this news release the Southern Regional position is vacant and Executive Director Jonathan Shuler and President Rector is hopeful to have someone in that capacity first of the year.
