Last Friday, May 13th 2022 we held the elections for two of the positions in the Seattle-Gdynia Sister City Association: Vice President and Treasurer. Both of the positions were filled with unanimous votes of the members of the association for the next two-year term.
Ania Kaminski was elected the Treasurer of our organization for her another, consecutive term. Ania has been successfully running the finances of our organization for many years now, and we’re proud to entrust her two more years in the function. In addition to her responsibilities as the Treasurer of the association, Ania also volunteers in many events around Seattle Polish Film Festival.
Paul Griffin, who had been Vice President of the Association had decided no to look the re-election. His hard work and dedication helped us grow and appreciate Paul for his effort. The new Vice President was elected Anna Babcock, who will be joining her responsibilities in Seattle-Gdynia Sister City Association with those of Director of Marketing and Events of Polish-American Chamber of Commerce in Pacific Northwest.
