AIFD Board Elections on May 11!!!
|
Although a number of current Board members are willing to continue to serve, AIFD is always looking for people who are interested in serving the group as an officer or as a volunteer for the many tasks required for AIFD's activities. The Board encourages all members to learn the responsibility of each officer and then offer to either run for the Board or volunteer to help the Board in other ways. Please talk with any Board Member for more information.
