Section
3: Issues/Items for consideration by the Division, Council or
Board of Directors.
| Issues/Items |
Details |
| Council/Board of Directors |
I suggest electing officers-elected
to set up leadership structure. Rather than elect a Chair
each year, elect a chair-elect to serve with the chair and
move into the chair position after one year. At that time
elect another chair-elect. This will provide for contunity
and consistency in the leadership areas. |
| Budgets |
Service to Commission Award $100,
Commission Fair preparation $50 |
Section
4: List Volunteer Opportunities Available in your Unit.
Presentation,
research and webpage information committees. Other committees
to be established as needed. |

involvement and growth?
