I, Yvonne Cheroke, do hereby declare my candidacy for a Board of Governors position with NCBC on February 23, 2015. My involvement with NCBC includes Impact Editor (2009-2011), member of Editorial Committee (2012), Board of Governors (2013-2015), and chair of Benefits Committee (2013-2015). The previous positions that I have held with NCBC has allowed me the opportunity to be a spokesperson for my fellow members, and I would be honored to serve a second term on the Board of Governors. My career with the federal court system began over 30 years ago. My position with NCEB is Programmer Analyst. After completing the Foundations of Management Program, I enrolled in the FCLP Program and graduated in 2006. I have continued as a mentor for participants of this program since graduation. This has allowed me to be involved and provide assistance to other court members. I believe I can provide more to NCBC members if I am selected for a second term on the Board of Governors. Thank you for considering me for a Board of Governors position.
