At this meeting, in addition to being held in new locations, the BOT will have all three of the newest Trustee members: Trustee Carol Evans, Trustee Alexis Alexander and Trustee Drew Shirk. We are excited to have them join the Eagle Family and look forward to their perspectives and leadership in moving Eastern forward.
