New COLRE Board Elects President and Vice President

SACRAMENTO-  On June 12, 2015 the newly elected directors of California Organization of Licensing Registration Examiners (COLRE) met as a board for the first time at California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) headquarters in  Sacramento to elect a president and vice president and to meet with the outgoing board to ensure a smooth transition.

"This was a very productive board meeting and I am encouraged by the enthusiasm and energy of the new COLRE board," said Gonzalez.  "I also thanked outgoing COLRE President Francine Toth for the many, many years she led this organization.  She has assisted so many licensing registration examiners over the years and has taught us so many things about our rights and working with management."

One of the first orders of business for the new COLRE board was to develop and adopt bylaws for COLRE. 

"We look forward to serving our licensing registration examiners and having directors from each of the Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) regions is going to improve the way we do that," said Gonzalez.  "Members should never hesitate contacting us with any questions or concerns."
