Some new names were added to the Prince George district parent advisory board of directors during an annual general meeting on Tuesday night.

Newcomers Dennis Fudge, Sarah Holland and Michelle Hourie were all named to the board as were incumbents Don Sabo, Chris Finke, Cliff McLauchlan and Steve Shannon. It raises the number of people on the board to seven from five.

The board will decide who will occupy the executive positions — chair, vice-chair, secretary,treasurer — later this month.

Asked if he’s interested in remaining chair, Sabo said members have said they wish to see him continue and with the additional members, the job should be easier.

“It’s a volunteer position and there were quite a few hours I had to put in over the past year,” Sabo said. “Mind you, there were exceptional circumstances (with the school closures).

“It was a very challenging year but with the two additional board members, it makes it a lot easier. We can distribute the workload out amongst more board members.”

Cara Vanderkraats, who served as secretary, did not seek to return to the board.
