BOARD POSITIONS OPEN!
We are currently seeking to fill the open board position of Secretary. If you are looking to get involved in our organization and have a flair for keeping notes, we need you! If Secretary is not for you - no worries - there are plenty of other spots open on the board so please think about stepping up. We meet once a month, sometimes by phone, but most often in person to share thoughts, ideas, and action items related to our mission. All of our board meetings are open to any one wishing to attend.
