Now's the time to start thinking about who would like to serve on the next WFA Board. We will need candidates for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer for the 2011 - 2012 term. (Directors are elected in odd years, Board members in even years, and serve for a two-year term.) More information regarding what each position involves will be posted soon. This is simply a reminder to start looking around (or looking within!) and begin to sound out potential candidates.
