I hope this message finds you well!

We had our most recent board meeting yesterday, where we agreed that it is time to grow our board! We are hoping to start 2 new committees, meaning we are looking for multiple volunteers (no experience necessary).

1) Finance Committee: These folks would work in tandem with the treasurer. They would also review our fiscal policy and make suggestions for updates/changes to the board. An example of this is that we recently updated our mileage reimbursement for MEEOA related activities, because costs of fuel have gone up. We changed it to reflect the federal reimbursement rate. Pretty simple, right?!!

2) Professional Development: MEEOA is a professional development and advocacy agency. We are hoping to find more ways to offer professional development to the membership. This committee would also oversee the professional development scholarships MEEOA offers, reviewing applications and awarding funds as necessary. 

Committee members would not have to attend monthly board meetings, but instead submit reports to the board or send one representative to each board meeting. The time commitment would be relatively low! We see this as a "foot in the door" type of position.

If anyone is interested in being part of one of these committees, please reach out to me! 

Have a great weekend,

Sam
