Board of Directors

Members of the Club's Board of Directors are elected at the annual Club Election, ordinarily held at the last regular club meeting in September each year. Three directors are elected each year (from a slate of six candidates) to serve three-year terms. The newly elected directors officially take office on July 1 of the following year; however, pursuant to a 2008 Club Bylaws amendment, newly elected board members are encouraged to attend board meetings and have voting rights before officially taking office. The Club Bylaws also specify that the immediate Past President, Club Treasurer, Club Secretary and Sergeant-at-Arms are automatically voting members of the Board. Current members of the Board of Directors are:

• Terms expiring June 30, 2012
  • Lex Akers (2011-12 Vice President)
  • Andy Bonderer
  • Brenda Woods (2011-12 President)
