Opening on the Board

Due to a resignation from the Board, the Northern California Chapter of URISA is recruiting to fill the position of President-Elect for the remainder of this year's term, which runs through December of 2006. This vacancy may be filled by action of the Board of Directors from eligible candidates. A person typically elected to this position would serve one year as President-Elect, followed by one year as President, and one year as Past President. This position will take over as President of the Chapter on January 1, 2007.

The President-Elect assumes the duties of the President in the absence of the President, performs other duties as the President and Board recommends, and must be a URISA National member in good standing. (The requirement for officers of the Chapter to be members of the parent organization allows the Chapter to be covered by URISA's insurance policies.)

For questions pertaining to this election, or information on becoming a National Member, please contact Geney Terry at president@no rcalurisa.org.
