Message from new State Deputy George Martin:Brother Knights,
The email addresses some questions that have risen recently regarding the leadership in the State Council and State Family.
As previously reported, due to personal reasons, Vernon Ducote has resigned his position as State Deputy for Louisiana.
Per Section 58 of Constitution of the Knights of Columbus and with the approval of Supreme Council, the following individuals were appointed effective March 8, 2021 to fill the unexpired terms of these offices (which expires June 30, 2021):
- State Deputy: George Martin
- State Secretary: Vince Whittington
- State Treasurer: Bobby Charpentier
- State Warden: Richard Yandle
Eric Miller will remain in his position as State Advocate, and Rennan Duffour will remain as Immediate Past State Deputy.
There have no other changes made to the State Family. In particular, Richard Yandle will remain as the State Membership Director for the remainder of this Fraternal Year.
Over the next few months, the above officers will be learning and adjusting to their new roles. Therefore, I will still be handling some Secretary duties, and Vince Whittington will still be handling some Treasurer duties doing this transition.
Thus, for the remainder of this Fraternal Year (until June 30, 2021), please continue to send all Per-Capita payments and Y.E.P. donations to me (George Martin).
Thank you for your support.
Let’s finish this year strong!
VIVAT JESUS!
George Martin
State Deputy
