Two Lauderdale County men were recently appointed to the Alabama Elk River Development Association board, according to new Director Randall Hammock.
Larry Siniard, a teacher at Lauderdale County High School, and Richard Herston, mayor of Rogersville, are the new members, replacing former Rogersville mayor James Hagood, and Lexington Mayor Herman Jagger.
Hammock came on as the new director Feb. 23, replacing 30-year director Ed Sandlin, who retired.
The board is made up of six community leaders — three from Limestone County and three from Lauderdale County. Each member is nominated by the County Commission and then appointed by the governor for six-year terms.
Jerry Bradford of Elkmont resigned from the board in this winter, Hammock said.
“At the present time, there is one vacancy on the board,” said Hammock. “This position should be filled in the next few weeks.”
Board members are now Hulon Newton, chairman, former mayor of Anderson; Athens Mayor Dan Williams, vice chairman; Joey Thompson, Elkmont High School teacher, treasurer; Siniard and Herston.
“These men are all proactive and a joy to work with,” said Hammock. “Each man brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. They work very well together.”
