Come join the Club’s Leadership Team

The Club is earnestly seeking members to run for positions on the Board of Directors. We have one hundred members in the Newcomers’ Club. It’s a diverse, talented group with many interests and skills. The more people who get involved, the richer the experience is for everyone, and not least for the people who take leadership.  

Being a leader in the Club has many benefits. You become better acquainted with others as you work together toward common goals. You have a say in the Club’s policies and activities. You develop stronger relationships with all Club members, as you engage with them to set up Club activities for everyone. Bottom line, you make more friends. Please think about joining us as we plan for the future.
