Every June we have elections for half of the NVWG Board.   All terms are for 2 years unless noted. This year we will vote on the following positions:

• Co-Chair
• Secretary
• Communications Director
• Publicist
• Hospitality (1 year, to fill vacancy)
• Programs
• NEWS Rep
• 2 At Large Members

(Job descriptions for the open positions are below.  All positions are described in our Bylaws document .)

Per our Bylaws, the nominating committee is made up of all of the Board members whose terms are not expiring.  That committee will be headed by Laura.

As our new Bylaws dictate, there are term limits for the Co-Chair and Secretary positions.  This means that Penny and Krista cannot continue in these rolls.  We must nominate new people for these positions.

Please make nomination suggestions to Laura or any current Board member.  The Board usually meets for an hour just prior to our regular Guild meetings, and we generally have a lot of fun.  Please consider joining us!
