  24. CARRIE PETERS I, Carrie Peters, am seeking reelection for Secretary for the next two years. I have been on the Idaho RID board for the last two years and have been a part of the great strides in our local chapter. I have learned how to utilize the new website by posting our board and business meeting notes and keeping those important minutes documented. Our board has some of the finest, and being able to serve among them helps me to be a better citizen. I will continue to be the glue and play a cooperative role as a board member. I love to stay abreast and involved in decision making that impacts the interpreting profession. If I am reelected I will take the skills I have learned and improve them to positively represent you in our community. I feel I've only scratched the surface and need more time to give back, as your secretary. I am by far not close to perfect and know I can improve. This is my goal for 2018-2020. Thank you!

  25. LAUREN SEALE My name is Lauren Seale and I would be honored to serve as Secretary on the Idaho RID Board. I graduated from Idaho State University in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Sign Language Interpreting. Since then, I have been working at IESDB as an interpreter in Outreach and as a Video Relay Interpreter at Sorenson. In January of 2018, I became Nationally Certified. I believe I would be a great asset to Idaho RID as Secretary because I am well organized, a quick learner, very motivated, and I am passionate about supporting interpreters as we work with our Deaf Community in Idaho. As a newly certified interpreter, I believe I can bring a fresh perspective and an attitude of learning to the Idaho RID Board.
