Nominations for 2020-2022 
SNR Board

Hello everyone! As we start a new club year, we have the important task of filling the slate for the SNR Board for the next biennium. Any member can submit a nomination so please be thinking of those members that would make great leaders. We need candidates for Governor-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer and District Directors. Remember that a candidate for Governor- Elect must have previously served on the SNR Board. All other candidates need to have been President of her Club. Board members cannot hold a club office at the same time. Here is the updated Nominating Form . 

Deadline for nominations is November 15,2019.

Thank you.
