Officer Nominations Needed
Nominations are now being accepted for all positions (President, VP, Treasurer, Secretary, Membership Coordinator, Newsletter, Safety Officer, Conservation Officer, Gear Officer, Program Coordinator, Webmaster, Member-at-Large, and NPFF Coordinator). By the bylaws and tradition, many of the current officers are not seeking reelection after two years in their current position. Send nominations to the President or post to the forum here, with the consent of the nominee. Elections will be at the June monthly meeting.
