Annual Chapter elections coming up
More details will be shared soon, but start thinking now about stepping up and into a leadership role with SWTU. We will need at least two new directors and a new Vice President. (The VP’s primary role is outreach to new members and organizing monthly chapter meetings.) If you have questions or recommendations, reach out to a Board member listed at the end of the newsletter. We’ll have a nominating committee formed soon and have the election at a spring meeting.
