The term of office for three members currently serving on the PRA Board of Directors will expire at the end of 2006. This past October ballots were sent to all PRA Members for the purpose of electing individuals to serve a three year term on the Pennington Research Association Board of Directors beginning January 2007. I am pleased to announce that the general membership of the Pennington Research Association have chosen Katherine Allman, Jasper Green Pennington and James W. Pennington to represent their organization for the referenced three year term. Congratulations to these candidates and on behalf of the members of the Pennington Research Association I would like to express our sincere appreciation for their wiliness to serve our association in this important capacity. Respectfully Jim Pennington President
