We are very fortunate that we have volunteers who have expressed interest in filling the open positions on the Board.  Since there is only one person who has volunteered for some positions, we will be affirming those candidates rather than actually voting but voting for those positions where there are more candidates than positions to fill.

  • PRESIDENT: John Wolber
  • VICE PRESIDENT: Doug Barbiero
  • TREASURER: Harvey Factor
  • SECRETARY: Cheryl Wilson
  • ASSISTANT TREASURER and MEMBER AT-LARGE: Tim MacFaydn and Sharon Vaughn
