If you are in the north country, you are painfully aware the snow is back. I suspect the snow will slow down my planned camping trip slightly more than scheduled construction projects. Even the weather seems to be forcing the economy and spring construction to regress.
Board Election
May is the month to elect the chapter Board! Your chapter could use your talent and input. The Board guides the chapter and provides input to the Society officers. The level of effort is nominal, but Board members' input is invaluable. Please consider running for a Board position.
The current officers agreed to stay on in order to reduce the number of board vacancies. As we have several vacancies, we encourage you to join us. This is your chapter and we would welcome any contribution you could make to the Board. A couple of Board members will not be on the Board in 2010 - 2011, so this is your opportunity to interact with seasoned Board members. The current 'slate' is:
Affiliate Liaison: Andrew Cowan
VP Membership: Mike Mullins
Treasurer: Beth Bilger
VP Legislative: Bob Wilson
VP Technical: Steve Howe
President: Doug Page
