Do you envision yourself as a leader? Do you know someone who is a devoted member of the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce and would enjoy contributing even more?
The chamber's Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for its Board of Directors vacancies for 2018.
Directors are elected each year through a single-slate ballot. The committee will present a roster of candidates to the board, which will review the nominees and appoint the new directors, who will serve two-year terms for no more than 4 consecutive terms.
Board member duties include providing leadership, legislative advocacy and information regarding emerging issues in the community, as well as regularly attending the board meetings, which take place from 8 to 9:30 a.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. Board members also are expected to participate in all the chamber's special events.
If you are interested in a director position, or if you want to nominate someone, please contact Bev Jorgensen, Executive Director at the chamber by October 6.
