Washington DC, USA - The Board of Directors of the Liberian Community Association of the Washington DC Metropolitan Area (LCA) has announced the induction of a new corps of officers of the Washington DC based Liberian community. Johnny Barnard, Vice President, was elected at a General Assembly meeting of the Association held last Sunday in Laurel, Maryland on the outskirts of Washington DC. According to a resolution issued by the Associations General Assembly, the new leadership comes in the aftermath of a prolonged leadership crisis in the LCA which left the Washington metropolitan area Liberian community without a bona fide leadership structure for two years. Accepting the mantle of leadership, President Vonhm promised to ably fulfill the mandate given to his team to unite the Liberian community in an active process of revitalization, and mobilization. He also announced plans to meet with the leadership of the various Liberian organizations in the Washington DC Metro area in a bid to foster a united approach in tackling issues affecting the Liberian community.
