Cancellation of the Aims Board of Trustees Election and New Board Members
September 02, 2025
Aims Board of Trustees from left to right: Cristóbal (Chris) Garcia, Jeannine Truswell, Gene O'Hara, Marilyn Schock and Heidi Windell.
The cancellation follows state statute (C.R.S. 1-5-208(1.5), which allows an election to be called off if the number of candidates does not exceed the number of open seats.
As a result, the following candidates are declared elected by a resolution of the Board of Trustees passed during a special meeting on September 2:
- Marilyn Schock | District C | 4-year term
- Rhonda Solis |District D | 4-year term
- Marcella Mieczkowski | District E | 2-year term
This action eliminates the need to participate in this November’s election and finalizes the election of these candidates. All three of the candidates will be sworn in at the December 2025 meeting, and their terms will begin at that time.
Marilyn Schock, currently the Board Chair, has been reelected.
Mieczkowski will serve a two-year term, as she takes the role left vacant by former board member John W. Haefeli, who passed away in May. Cristóbal Garcia was appointed as an interim for the seat in July and will serve until December.
