The Founding Committee has guided us through our first 4 years and its time now for our next generation of officers. The form requires someone to nominate the applicant and the applicant must agree to run and serve. Please note that we will be implementing technology that will eliminate distance as a factor for meetings. Forms should be returned by Feb. 1st. Both Nominator & Nominee must be paid up members for 2008 and 2009. Please consider serving your club!
