Antonia M. Tudela, vice chairperson of the 9th Saipan Municipal Council, has recently been elected president of the Association of Mariana Islands Mayors, Vice Mayors and Elected Municipal Council Members.
Tudela was elected to the group’s highest post during its special assembly last week held on Tinian. She will be serving for the 2007 term.
Joining Tudela on the roster of 2007 AMIM officers are: vice president Jessie B. Palican, mayor of Barrigada, Guam; secretary Mametto M. Ayuyu, secretary of the 11th Rota Municipal Council; treasurer Robert “Bob” S. Lizama, mayor of Yigo, Guam; and sergeant-at-arms Vicente “Ben” D. Gumataotao, mayor of Piti, Guam.
Acting mayor and chair of the 11th Tinian and Aguiguan Municipal Council Francisco Q. Cruz administered the new officers’ oath of office.
Tudela immediately announced that the association’s 2007 General Assembly has been tentatively scheduled for the island of Rota.
For more information on this, contact Mayors Council of Guam executive director John F. Blas at (671) 472-6940 or (671) 477-8461.
The four Guam mayors paid a courtesy visit on Saipan a day before the association’s election to present a resolution expressing their condolences for the passing of former CNMI governor Lorenzo I. Deleon Guerrero.
Dededo Mayor Melissa B. Savares, Mangilao Mayor Nito C. Blas, Yigo Mayor Lizama and Barrigada Mayor Palican presented the resolution to former first lady Matilde Deleon Guerrero at the Saipan Municipal Council office in Chalan Kanoa.
“The late Hon. Lorenzo Iglecias Deleon Guerrero is described as one of the Commonwealth’s great leaders who had earned his place in history as a founding father of the Commonwealth, and was a man of unquestionable integrity, honesty, and high morals who treated all persons from governors to laborers with politeness,” reads part of the resolution.
