Board Elections at May 15 Meeting: You Can Make a Difference!

Please consider running for the SWTU Board.

Elections will be in May (instead of April), and we don’t yet have a full slate with a couple of Board openings. We know people are busy, but the commitment isn’t too large and much can be handled virtually. In short, candidates are hard to come by this year and we need people to step up. We have some openings created by some having served multi-year terms and one tremendous member who moved to Green Bay.

Our biggest need is Treasurer. Marty Chiaro leaves having improved all the functions of that office and leaving it in the best shape ever. The Board has also learned from Marty’s labors and expert advice and has taken a big step in making the Treasurer’s duties simpler and more manageable. We are in the process of hiring a CPA/devoted SWTU member to file tax documents and handle some key bookkeeping functions. We intend this improvement to be permanent.

If anyone has any interest in serving as Treasurer, please contact any of our current officers using the info at the end of the Newscasts : Steve Musser (Pres), Marty Chiaro (Tres), Topf Wells (VP), or Henry Nehls-Lowe (Sec).

Reviewing the minutes in the “Learn What Your Board’s Been Up To” article that’s in every Newscasts gives a nice picture of all the good you can do by stepping up. Thank you for your consideration.
