The Foundation Board has an opening. If you're interested in getting involved, please contact Aaron Peterson. This is a really great way to get involved in an important part of our club. No prior experience needed!
The club board has an opening for Club Service. This is more of a coordinator role than it is a heavy lift. If you're interested, please contact Michelle Francis or Andy Rangen.
