Chapter Operating Handbook Revision Donna Otto
​
It takes many people to keep the Chapter operating. If you can fill a vacancy listed above contact our president. All time working on Chapter administration at home or in board or committee meetings counts as volunteer time.
We have several hard working members who are wearing several hats. If you can step up and take some of the work off their shoulders, that would be welcome. Contact our President to help out. Job descriptions can be found on the Bylaws and Chapter Operations page here on the web site.
