The Key to District 4 - December 2011

REGENT’S REPORT

This newsletter is the first for District 4 in a few years, and, as such, this is my first Regent’s Report to you. I am honored and humbled to be your Regent. Dr. John Ricciani from New Jersey was our Regent from January 2010 until his death in January of 2011. Dr. Ricciani was a wonderful person and a very good leader. He fought a strong battle against cancer right up to the end. He never complained, and he performed his duties as a Regent with competence and pride. His shoes are hard to fill. New Jersey and the entire 4th District will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and his colleagues in New Jersey.

It gives me pleasure to announce that Dr. Carmine LoMonaco is District 4’s new Vice-Regent. We welcome his experience and leadership. He is an asset to District 4.

I am enjoying working with all our returning Deputy Regents: Dr. Dennis Stiles (DC), Dr. Edwin Morris (MD), Dr. Gregory Shupik (NJ-S), Dr. Mario Rodriguez (PR), and Dr. John Ramer (VA & PHS), and I welcome our new Deputy Regents: Dr. David Williams (DE), Dr. Louis DiPede (NJ-N), Dr. Michael N. Wajdowicz (Air Force), Dr. William Bachand (Army), and Dr. Elaine Wagner (Navy).

I would like to congratulate our 24 new Fellows that were inducted at the convocation in Las Vegas on Monday, October 10, 2011. Although this was not the largest class we have inducted, the quality of the candidates was outstanding. I would like to thank each of our Fellows who nominated such a talented class and their Deputy Regents for coordinating and screening the applicants. Special recognition should be given to Dr. William R. Bachand from the Army for having 7 candidates inducted. Next Year our Convocation will be in San Francisco on Friday, October 19, 2012. Please encourage Fellows to nominate worthy candidates. CIF’s are now being accepted; so please get your applications into your Deputy Regents as soon as possible. This should be a very large class.

Margaret M. Culotta-Norton, Regent
