ACCEPTING BOARD MEMBER NOMINATIONS!

This meeting, February's meeting, is the meeting where YOU, THE MEMBERSHIP get to nominate the new board members!

We will be collecting nominations this meeting, and holding a vote for board members during March's meeting.

The new board members don't really have defined positions yet, we just know we need more board members to deal with the growing number of members. You should nominate people who you feel would represent the direction you want the lab to go.
