Survivors Association Board of Directors

It is time to elect a new Board of Directors for your Association.  Nominations are now being accepted for the following positions on the Board:

Vice President   Incumbent:  Bill Crowell
Executive Director  Incumbent:  Mike Vos
Treasurer   Incumbent:  Chris Skafidas
Membership Secretary Incumbent:  Frank Forrest 
Recording Secretary  Incumbent:  Lyn Zepik

In accordance with the By-Laws, the incumbent Vice President will assume the duties of President following the Reunion in May 2000.  All other offices are open for election.

Please read the By-laws for the duties of the position for which you are interested. 

The position of Vice-President is particularly important this year.  The Vice-President hosts and organizes the Bi-Annual Reunion, then becomes President for two years following his Reunion.  This is four-year commitment that can get quite busy, especially for the few months prior to the reunions.  Nominees/volunteers for Vice-President should be sure that they have time available for this job.

If you would like to stand for election to one of these positions, please submit your nomination to Mike Vos by email or mail as soon as possible.
