Board of Directors : Since we have such a difficult time getting candidates for a two party system for all of the officers. The Officers proposed a motion to make every officer a Board Member and that way each year, one Board Member would come off and would have to be re-elected. Essential reducing us down to voting for just one officer each year. We will take open calls and vote in September. This approved at the General Meeting and will be written into the By-Law. Tim Burke will be the Board Member coming off in 2023.
