On behalf of the Membership, the Board is very pleased to let you know that the slate for new directors for 2018-2019 is rapidly being filled. We do encourage further interested parties to come forward as the board would like to know who is interested as board directors step down over the next couple of years.
Please direct your interest to Andrea Proctor if a volunteer director position is one you would consider in the future. Board members are expected to serve a minimum of two years but naturally you are welcome to stay longer.
