The trustees and fiscal officers from the 23 townships in Knox County re-elected Steve Bechtel as president of the organization. Eugene Phillips was elected vice president, Patti Frazee as secretary and Carol Gilmore as treasurer.

The audit committee was also selected to check the organization’s finances at the end of the year. Selected to that committee were Paul Hunter, Ted Bratton and Jim Hughes.
