The Midwest Chapter Board has nine seats of staggered terms. Board members may serve up to three consecutive terms. The Board meets virtually once a month and leads the work of the chapter. Directors are active leaders and take responsibility for programs.
There are THREE seats open on the Board of Directors. Those elected will serve three-year terms (2023-2025). The term for each of the open seats begins in January 2023.
Self-nominations are due by October 10. Board elections will occur October 17 to November 4. If the number of qualified nominations is equal to or less than the number of open seats, candidates will be seated without an election. Results will be announced November 11. New board members are encouraged to join the current board for its final meeting of the year on December 9, 2022, noon to 1 p.m. Central Time. New board member orientation will be scheduled at members’ convenience in December.
If you have questions, please email board secretary MJ Lamon at mlamon@edinamn.gov.
