The Board and Executive extend their most sincere thanks to Geoff and Noel for their past service to RAC and wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.

The Board also extends its thanks to Bob Cooke for the time he has devoted to RAC as a past Director, Past Vice-President of Field Services and as President during rather challenging times. Bob's involvement with RAC began in the early 1990s as an Assistant Director. He was elected as Ontario South Director in 2001 and served in that capacity until January 2005. Bob was subsequently elected as Vice President, Field Services in January 2006 and served in that role until February 2009 when he was asked by the Board to assume the responsibilities of President of RAC.

The dedication and commitment of volunteers like Bob, Geoff, Noel, and many others, result in Canadian Amateurs having  a voice which is heard locally, provincially, nationally and internationally, and they are to be congratulated for their outstanding contributions.
