NCC Board Nominating Committee

A nominating committee has been formed to make nominations for next year's Board. The members of the committee are: Nancy Graham, Melissa Koren, and Julie Koslow.

 

NCC Board—NEW BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED

We have 4-5 board positions open for next year. We need your help. If you participate in club activities and have never served on the board, please consider making this the year that you choose to volunteer. The club cannot survive without the help of its members. The time involvement is minimal. There are quarterly meetings, arranged at a convenient time for all of the Board Members. Serving on the Board is a great way to be involved in your club and to make decisions on event planning, and on how the club's money will be spent. If you have ever considered serving on the board, please call Melissa 480-0566, Nancy 205-5615, or Julie 291-7454.
