Hello BEMA Members,
Mike Krause, one of your BEMA Board of Directors, will be resigning his Director position in the January 20, 2018 Board meeting and has 5 months remaining on his term.
According to our By-Laws when a BEMA Director resigns from the board before their 3-year term is up the Board can appoint someone to fill that position until the next Annual Meeting. If there are remaining years left on their term, at the Annual Meeting the Members will vote on someone to fill the remainder of the term.
We are seeking Letters of Interest from all BEMA Members so we can appoint someone to serve in Mike’s position until the Annual Meeting this May.
If you are interested in “dipping your toe in the water” of being on the BEMA Board now is an excellent opportunity!
At the Annual Meeting in May there will be 4 Director positions open for 3-year terms so if you aren’t appointed now don’t worry… we still need you!!
There are only a few requirements to serve on the Board and I’ve attached a document with more details. At the very least you need:
1. To be able to regularly monitor your email and respond to Board emails in a timely way.
2. Attend every Board Meeting possible which is held the third Saturday of the month starting at 9:00 AM.
3. Chair and serve on a committee which involves additional time spent outside of the monthly Board meetings to make progress on the different projects.
Please send Christa Isenhart (BEMA Secretary) at christa.isenhart@gmail.com a “Letter of Interest” including residence and work history, skill sets including level of computer software proficiency, and why you are interested in serving on the Board by Monday Jan 15, 2017. Also, please be available to attend the Board meeting on Jan. 20.
The Board will make the appointment in the Jan. 20, 2018 meeting.
We look forward to hearing from you. If you have questions please let Christa know.
Thank you,
Your BEMA Board of Directors
