As stated in the club’s by-laws, we will hold our annual election for the Board of Directors at the December General meeting. We are fortunate to have many people who have volunteered to serve on the board and are willing to continue their service. This year, we have some openings in the nominations and encourage members to consider serving on the board.
In the table below, I have listed the positions and current board members who would like to continue to serve. You can run or nominate someone for a position where there is already a nominee, however as you can see we have several openings that we need to fill.
