Briefly describe your process and timeline for adding new members:

New board members are first nominated by current Trustees or recommended by Society members. Once the Board Officers determine a candidate is qualified, they may be appointed as a provisional Trustee for three months, during which they can participate in meetings but do not vote. If the provisional period is successful, the candidate may be nominated for formal election in December, with the elected term beginning January 1 and lasting three years.

What are the next steps for interested individuals?

Reach out to Katelyn VerMerris, Director, and indicate your interest. She will meet with you to discuss the position and your interest.

Then she will bring her recommendation to the Board. Board elections take place in December.
