Treasurer: This position supports the Board of Directors with extra financial oversight, interpretation, and guidance. They usually have some familiarity with finance and accounting.
In addition to the three (3) Officials, there are three (3) Directors at large.
Director (x 3 positions): This position supports the work of the Board by reviewing Board material, being prepared for all board meetings, contributing to discussions and decisions, and taking on Board work in between meetings.
