At their recent annual meeting, Historic Fincastle, Inc. (HFI) elected their 2024 officers and directors.  Some faces are new, while others are HFI veterans.

For the Executive Committee, Patsy Dickerson was elected HFI President.  Patsy is a long-time Fincastle resident and has been an HFI member for several years.  David Lloyd, new to Fincastle and HFI has been elected Vice President, while Fincastle resident Yvonne Saunders will act as Treasurer.  New secretary Meredith Bowman-Shelton from Daleville will fulfill the HFI Secretary role.

Twelve new directors were also elected, with some returning faces and several new folks stepping into the director role. 

Executive Committee members and directors will serve either a one or two year term, depending on if they have served in the past year.

The executive committee has also developed a list of committee chair roles in the areas of event planning, communications, facilities maintenance and others.  Some of these roles have been filled, but HFI is always looking for volunteers to make our mission a success.
