ASEA State Executive Board members elected Billie Benedict of Dillingham to fill the Professional seat vacated by Paul DeSloover.

State Executive Board President Gordon Glaser accepted the election report following the count of executive board ballots on Friday, Aug. 6.

"I'm very pleased to fill the seat of Professional Class Representative," said Benedict. "I'll do my very best to see that the issues of this occupational class are addressed by the board," she added.

The Professional seat will be filled by statewide election in 2005 for the remainder of its term of office.
