2020 will be remembered for many things. One of which is the cancellation of several Ada organizational meetings.

The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and Ada Community Improvement Corp. (CIC) are among those feeling that pinch.

The chamber recently held its voting for 2021 board members via email. And, the CIC is doing the same thing.

Five CIC board members have terms expiring on Dec. 31. They are Jamie Hall, Brandt Miller, Eileen Peterman, Angela Polachek and Norm Rex. Those board members are on the ballot for terms in place for Jan. 1, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2022.

The 6 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 17, Ada school board meeting will take place in the K-12 building cafeteria, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.
