Dear HWNT Members,
HWNT is a hands-on, working board composed of volunteers who are committed to ensuring the continuity, stability, and success of the organization. While it varies by role and season, board members can expect to devote 10-20 hours a week to support the chapter’s general operations.
The nominating process opens June 23, 2022 - July 18, 2022. Nominations will be vetted and interviews conducted prior to elections being held on July 23, 2022 at HWNT’s Café con Leche (see details below). Nominations for open positions will also be accepted from the floor at the meeting and only current, paid members will be allowed to vote for board members. A simple majority of members present will determine the elections so please make plans to attend this important meeting. Newly elected board members will be inducted and begin their board service in July 2022.
