We're always open to remote volunteers but board members should attend the majority of the general meetings and the board meetings, per the bylaws. One other clarification - nominations don't have to be seconded but the person being nominated must accept the nomination (either by E-Mail or in person at the November 10th meeting).<br>
<br>
Nominations are now open, so I'll kick things off by nominating Tom Most for a Board Member at Large position.<br>
