SPEAKER OF ASRT HOUSE OF DELEGATES RESIGNS
The speaker of the ASRT House of Delegates has resigned his
position, citing personal reasons for his decision. Scott S. Tulane,
B.S.R.S., R.T.(R)(CT), submitted a letter of resignation to the ASRT
Board of Directors on Oct. 20.
"Being elected and serving as Speaker of the House of Delegates has been
one of the greatest honors that I have ever experienced," Mr. Tulane
wrote in his letter of resignation. "I deeply regret that I am unable
to complete my term of office."
Mr. Tulane, who lives in Electra, Texas, was first elected to an
ASRT office in 1999, when he was chosen as vice speaker of the House of
Delegates. He was re-elected as vice speaker in 2000 and named speaker
of the House in 2001.
The 234-member House of Delegates is ASRT's legislative and governing
body. Delegates choose a speaker and vice speaker at their annual
meeting every June. The two officials are responsible for overseeing
all House business. They also serve as members of the ASRT Board of
Directors.
In his letter of resignation, Mr. Tulane thanked the delegates
for their support. "I have been privileged to work with so many
talented and dedicated delegates, who have taught me a great deal about
professionalism," he said.
Mr. Tulane's duties will be transferred to House Vice Speaker
Richard Fucillo, R.T.(R), FASRT, a resident of Las Vegas, Nev., who
immediately becomes speaker of the House. "I am confident that
Richard
Fucillo will execute the duties of speaker with great distinction," said
Mr. Tulane.
At the 2002 session of the House of Delegates in Birmingham,
Ala., delegates will elect a vice speaker pro tem to help preside over
the first meeting of the House on June 9. At the second meeting of the
House on June 12, the delegates will elect a speaker and vice speaker
who each will serve a one-year term on the ASRT Board of Directors
during 2002-2003.
