JM Farias actualmente preside la mesa directiva, Rito Valez III es el actual Vice-presidente, Humberto Duran es Secretario/Tesorero, Rodríguez y Ricardo Calderón completan la mesa directiva que se reúne una vez al mes y se encarga de la tarea de ayudar a la Directora General y su personal en la gestión de las operaciones del día a día proporcionando el mejor cuidado de salud para los ciudadanos del Condado de Maverick.
El News Gram se comunicó con Migdalia Adan, responsable de las elecciones para el MCHD, para ver si alguien más había registrado, pero ella nos informó que sólo Rodríguez y el Dr. Ronald Hixson lo habían hecho antes de la fecha límite de las 5:00 PM.
Valdez no se registró, y por lo tanto, su mandato terminará en noviembre, seis días después de la elección general el 4 de noviembre, cuando todos los nuevos miembros de la mesa serán juramentados.
Joaquin Rodriguez registers for
MCHD election
Joaquin Rodriguez made the commitment of putting his name in the proverbial hat by registering for the election to continue serving on the Maverick County Hospital Board of Trustees.
When asked what he feels is the importance of serving in this capacity, Rodriguez said, "A lot of it is just satisfaction of being a public servant. We don't get paid, we get paid $20.00 a month for serving, but it's satisfying knowing you're trying to run a program that complies with all the requirements. At the same time to be able to maintain the capital, the amount that was initially given to the district so that it will be perpetual so that we can continue giving services to our indigents."
JM Farias presently chairs the board, Rito Valdez III is the Vice-Chair, Humberto Duran serves as Secretary/Treasurer, Rodriguez is a trustee as is Ricardo Calderon who round off the board which meets once a month and handles the job of assisting the CEO and her staff in running the day-to-day operations of the district in providing the best in health care for the citizens of Maverick County.
The News Gram checked with Migdalia Adan, Elections Officer for the MCHD to see if anyone else had registered, but she informed us that only Rodriguez and Dr. Ronald Hixson had done so prior to the 5:00 PM deadline.
Valdez did not, therefore his term will end in November, six days after the November 4th general election when all new board members will be sworn in.
