Voting for Chapter Officers at our annual meeting / dinner

Chapter members will be asked to vote at the Wishing Well Restaurant in Wilton, Friday, October 24, 2014. The nominating committee has presented the following slate of officers for 2015:

Chapter Chair: Laura Fiske (re-election)
Secretary: John Caffry (re-election)
Treasurer: Steve Mackey (re-election)

Laura Fiske

I have been a member of the ADK and the Glens Falls/Saratoga chapter for many years. I am currently the Chapter Chair. In addition to my role in the chapter, I am a member of the club Finance and Audit Committee. In addition to hiking I am a cyclist and runner. I look forward to being the chapter chair for one additional year.
John Caffry

I have been an ADK member since 1985. Since that time, I have served ADK in many capacities, such as: Member of Chapter Executive Committee since 1987; former Chapter Publicity Committee Chair and Second Vice Chair; Chapter Secretary since 2006; former member of ADK Board of Governors and Executive Committee; former chair of ADK Headquarters Committee; current member (since 1988), and former chair, of ADK Conservation Committee. I have participated in the Adopt a Lean-to program since 2003.

I am a native of Glens Falls, currently living there with my wife, Ellen, and our two daughters. I am a member of the Caffry & Flower law firm in Glens Falls. Occasionally, I can find time for hiking, paddling and all varieties of skiing. Like Sarah Palin and Russia, I can see the Adirondack Park from my house (but only if the leaves are off the trees).
Steve Mackey

I have been an active member with the Glens Falls/Saratoga Chapter since the early 80’s. I served as Conservation Chairman for a couple of years back when the “Cane Pond Road Closure” and the “Big Cedar Swamp & Earltown” were big issues. I also have participated in the Adopt a Lean-to program, with “Jungle” Jim Mosher, taking care of Ward Brook Lean-to, for over twenty five years.

I lead hikes regularly, and recently took over John Schneider’s long held "Winter Weekend Coordinator" position. I own and operate the Luzerne Market, and have been in business for 33 years.
