Board
of Directors Positions
Each year we will be having one seat on our
Board of Directors
rotate off and this year we are on a mission to add more seats to the board.
We are looking for two additional seats from the
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. families to join as voting board members.
We are also looking for two “outsiders”, like medical professionals, teachers,
legal, or business owners who would like to volunteer their time to be voting
members on our board. So please ask potential candidates and submit
their names as nominees.
I need all nominees for all positions no later than March 15, 2010 so
that a formal election can be done and the positions filled by April 15, 2010.
Thanks so much!
Denny
