Lake County NAACP President Resigns: Stepping Back for Health
The Lake County NAACP recently made changes in its leadership because President Albert Jones needed to step down due to health issues.
Who’s in Charge Now?
Pam Morse, the First Vice President, is taking over as the president until new leaders come in by January 2025. Gerard Mirbel moved up to First Vice President, and Chris Lee is now the Second Vice President.
These changes were made according to the organization’s rules and started right away. Albert Jones, known as Deacon Jones for his work at St. John Baptist Church in Painesville, was a respected leader in the community. He appreciated the support he got and believes the board will keep up the good work.
Pam Morse, the new president, felt deeply about Jones leaving and said she’ll miss him personally and for the NAACP because he was always active in the community.
Morse has been involved with the NAACP for a few years, helping with events like the Freedom Fund banquet and celebrations for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth.
