At the 37th Annual Meeting on November 5th, a new slate of officers was elected for 2005. Richard P. Martel, P.E., L.S., was voted president, taking over the slot left by two-term president Jennifer Marks.
Rick joined CALS in 1986. In 1990 he became a member of the Board of Directors, representing Middlesex County. In 2000 he was elected Secretary of CALS, becoming second and then first vice president in succeeding years. His support of the organization and the surveying profession has been constant.
