| WABA Board Elections
Last week the Board of the West Alameda Business Association held their annual board elections. WABA is pleased to report that Brad Shook of the Bladium Sports Club was re-elected as Board President. Sandip Jariwala, owner of Hawthorn Suites, was re-elected Vice-President. Our newest board member, Sherilyn Escoto of Trans Pacific National Bank, was elected Treasurer. The Executive Board was complete with the re-election of Sam Koka, of SK Auto, as Secretary.
In addition to the election of officers, the Board also appointed chairs for the four WABA committees: Economic Development, Events, Organization and Design. Sandip Jariwala will lead the Economic Development committee, which focuses on strengthening existing business and recruiting new business to the area. Sherilyn Escoto will head the Events Committee, which coordinates WABA events. Steve Case, of Parco Neptune Palace, will focus his energy on the Organization and Membership committee. This committee also oversees the wonderful team of volunteers who help out with WABA activities. Janett Jackson, President of the College of Alameda, will continue to be the advisory board member to the Design committee. This committee is responsible for maintaining the image of the district through providing design guidelines and awareness.
The WABA Board and Chairpersons are excited about the year ahead. All who are interested in serving on one of the committees are welcome. Anyone interested in helping out, or anyone with questions for the Board, can contact WABA at West_Alameda@yahoo.com or at (510) 523-5955.
