LARA Board of Directors Information

 

LARA is organized by a volunteer Board of Directors. Board members are elected and serve a 3 year term. Elections are held during the October Board meeting each year.  Board Officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) are elected from the Board of Directors using a staggered election system, and serve a 2 year term.  President and Secretary are elected in odd numbered years, and Vice President and Treasurer are elected in even numbered years.

The public is welcome to run for the board and participate in the election. Board meetings are usually the first Wednesday of every month at a local location but may change due to certain conflicts.  Notices of the upcoming Board meetings are posted on this web page. Visitors are welcome.
