It's that time of year again! Are you interested in shaping the
future of BayLISA?  Elections are coming up in November.

This year we have four slots available.  Interested candidates

where they will be called upon to present their statement for

the general membership.  Please submit your statement to
blw at baylisa.org before October 18.

Elections are held at the November meeting. You must be a
current member to run for Board or to vote in the Board election.

The BayLISA Board is made up of seven members, elected annually
by the general membership. Since an individual Board member
serves for two years, the composition of the Board changes
annually, electing 4 new members in even years, and 3 in
odd years. The officers of the Board are elected annually
by the Board members, and consist of President, Treasurer,
and Secretary (usually referred to as "Arch" for historical
reasons).

If you are interested in becoming a candidate, please let us
know via email to "blw at baylisa.org".

Even if you are not interested in running for Board, as a member
of the organization you are welcome to all Board meetings held on
the first Thursday of every month (except for November) in
San Mateo.  Contact the Board at blw at baylisa.org for detailed
location information.
