Chapter Officer Candidacy Statements Due December 1, 2012
Thank you to everyone who attended the chapter meeting on Wednesday, in person and virtually! It was a fun and informative day, with some valuable lessons learned for the next time we use GoToMeeting. Minutes will be sent out in the next week or so for members to review and approve.
During the Wednesday meeting, we set a deadline of Saturday December 1, 2012 for those seeking a chapter officer position to submit their candidacy statements to our nominating committee volunteers, Trudy Levy and Andree LeBourveau. Here is the original announcement that was sent out last month:
The VRA Northern California chapter is seeking candidates for two officer positions, Chair-elect and Secretary/Treasurer. Chapter officers each serve a two-year term, with the distinction of Chair-elect automatically becoming Chair in the second year of his/her term. The terms for the new Chair-elect and Secretary/Treasurer will begin January 2013.
Serving the chapter and VRA as a whole is a very rewarding experience! As a chapter officer, you will get to know your colleagues better both locally and nationally. You will also gain important skills related to project management, outreach, and technology that will further your professional development. Finally, contributing your time as a chapter officer is an excellent way to give back to the profession and help keep VRA moving forward as a valuable network and resource.
Please see Article IV: Officers of our Chapter Bylaws for detailed descriptions of each officer position and the requirements. If you would like to submit your candidacy for either Chair-elect or Secretary/Treasurer, please email our nominating committee volunteers: Trudy Levy at iminteg@gmail.com and Andree LeBourveau at anlebour@cabrillo.edu.
