Policies and Procedure Manual and Job Description Manual
Many thanks to Rachell Jackson, Austin, for editing the D16 Policies and Procedure manual. It is a thankless and time-consuming task. Rachel broke it apart into two manuals, Policies and Procedure and Job Description. This makes it easier to read and maintain.

Region 9 Director
Beginning January 1, Paul Cuneo will conclude his term as the ACBL Region 9 Director (Districts 15 & 16). Over the past 20 years Paul has held numerous bridge volunteer and administrative positions including filling in as ACBL interim CEO. Rebecca Brown, Lakeway Unit 207 will step down from her role as ACBL Advisory Council D16 rep, and assume her new position replacing Paul as Region 9 Director.

ACBL Advisory Council
Larry Davis of Austin will assume the D16 Advisory Council rep position on the first of January. Similar sentiments can be expressed for Rebecca Brown, who served as D16 Executive Secretary from 2013-2015, Unit 172 representative from 2015-2020, D16 President from 2018-2019, D16 Disciplinary Chair from 2019-023, ACBL Adjunct National Recorder from 2023-2024, and has been a D16 member of the ACBL Advisory Council (formerly Board of Governors).
Many thanks to both Paul and Rebecca for their services.
