At the February meeting we will hold elections for officers for the following positions:

Vice Chair: responsible for planning, organizing, and directing a program to ensure membership retention and growth.

Secretary: keeps an accurate record of the meetings, acts as contact with national, and sends reports to national on a regular basis.

Volunteer Coordinator: responsible for coordinating chapter members, recruiting of new members, coordinating volunteers within the chapter, and helps build membership.

Jared Hendrix has agreed to serve one more year as Chair (thank you, Jared!) and Jenny Kelly will stay on as Treasurer until 2011. We have established an advisory board to the Executive Committee, with Bruxanne Hein, Curt Hein, Meg Hendrix, and Julie Janis serving a two-year term beginning in 2010.

If you are interested in serving or nominating someone to serve, please send a message via Facebook or an e-mail by Dec. 30th. Nominees and those voting must have attended at least 3 Surfrider meetings or events in the past year.

Thanks for your participation and support, let’s make this the best year ever for our chapter!

Have a safe and happy holiday!
