Call out for officers

Post by brick911 »

After some discussion in the International Board, it was recommended that we at least give people the chance to speak up if they would like to fill the role of one of the officer-positions we were abandoning.

That said, if you think you would make for a good Conservation Officer or Education Specialist, please speak up now! I will open up a nomination thread and we will get you nominated and seconded, just to follow the bylaws.

Please, before you volunteer, read the bylaws on the job descriptions of the two officer positions. Thanks!

I'll keep this stickied until either December 1st, or until I get a volunteer for each position - at which point, I'll open nomination threads.
