committee positions need to be filled. This means if you chaired or served
on a committee in 2019, you cannot assume that you will automatically be
placed there for 2020. There will be no exceptions. Please let me know which
committees you would like to serve on by December 15. If you want to chair a
committee, you need to tell me why you believe you should hold this
position. Remember, I am always looking for committed leadership that can
bring energy and creative new ideas to the committees.
