Dear Al-Anon Friends,
At our recent Board meeting in December, we welcomed new Board members Alexa C, David M, Dora S, Janice G., Katrina D., and Ted P. and discussed the roles these individuals will hold in the coming two years. We also had a few members express interest in joining the Board in appointed positions and reviewed the roles they might hold. In that process, it came to light that the one open role is Board Chair.
We are in a quandary because, as a nonprofit organization, we are required to fill our Board officerpositions of Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. To make things more complicated, the By-Laws stipulate that this position must have served on the Board for at least a year. No one on the current board can step into the Chair role, and the new Board members have not yet fulfilled the one-year requirement.
I am asking those of you who have previously served on the AIS Office Board to consider stepping up and do so before the January 11, 2025, Board and ISR meetings.
If you are moved to service, please get in touch with me directly or Dan B., the current Board Historian. Dan can be reached at [email protected].
Yours in service,
Cindi H., Board Chair
