On Wednesday, Nov. 7 the OBTC president, Marcus Turner, and the OBTC corresponding secretary, Priscilla Turner tendered their resignations as Turner had accepted employment in Long Beach, and would be unable to continue as president of the OBTC board of directors. In addition, Nicole Ueno resigned her position on the board and as chair of public relations.
These three individuals devoted countless hours of their time and energy volunteering with the council, which included chairing numerous local events, and acting as liaison to the coalition of town councils in the San Diego region. The board of directors wishes them well in their new endeavors and extends appreciation for their service. In accordance with the OBTC bylaws, vice president, Mark Winkie, was elected president, Jill Kent was elected to fill Winkie’s seat, and Jon Carr was elected to fill the seat of correspondence secretary. Two vacated seats were appointed by a quorum of the remaining board of directors. Those two seats are being filled by existing residential OBTC members Daniel Grofer and Stacie Woehrle. All three board positions are up for election by the membership in January/February 2019. The Ocean Beach Town Council is a private, nonprofit organization with a mission to express the will and represent the welfare of the community of Ocean Beach.
