Call for Candidates for the FACCMN Board of Directors
|
The 2021 Annual meeting of members of the FACCMN will take place online on June 16, when we will hold our election for positions on our Board of Directors. The Board is the governing group of the FACCMN and is automatically the pool of candidates for officer positions, but no one is expected to seek any further position. So that the membership will have time to know something about the candidates before choosing Directors, we are inviting all interested people to contact us now. The current Board will provide its recommendations on candidates in 6 weeks.
