Chapter 37 has been in existence for over 4 years now and as always we need, and value chapter volunteers to serve as board members and help with organizing and running chapter events.
Early in the new year we will be holding our first meeting of the new board and execute the process of electing the volunteer executive committee for Chapter 37 – this includes: President (Chair), Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. To complement these roles we are also seeking volunteers to help with membership, communications, events, etc. We are seeking chapter members and friends who would like to join a committee, get to know some new and interesting people helping to plan an event, work on meaningful projects.
Please come out and support your local chapter – Montreal West
Chapter #37.
