— Do you know an Active Member who is interested in filling a Chapter Officer position? —
Be sure the nominee is willing to volunteer their time and energy!

Though all seats are open to nominations, here is some background to the current Officers positions:

It’s been the Chapter’s practice for the Vice President to fill the resigning President’s seat. As Janeko Bower will step down as President, V.P. Spencer Sias is an enthusiastic and energetic candidate to step up to this leadership role. Treasurer Kevin Hagerty has attained great knowledge of the Chapter financial history from his time filling this position and is willing to continue. He’s agreed that a Treasury Assistant is a wise idea and so Scott Smith the current Secretary has volunteered to take on this work.
