It’s that time of year where we thank all of our current leadership team for all the hard work they put in and pave the way for some fresh faces to step up and help. If you know of someone who would be a good addition to the leadership team, or if you want to put your own name in the running, send in your nominations. We are looking for new board members as well as committee members.  Here's how it works: Board terms are 2 years with reasonable and rewarding participation opportunities.
