THAGS needs a Nominating Committee Chairperson... like now.

We need a THAGS member to volunteer to be this year's election committee chairperson. The chairperson can have two other members assist them. The committee is responsible for checking with board members who are up for replacement to see if they are staying on or finishing their term. Then, finding members who are willing to be nominated to serve on the board. In the April meeting, the committee announces the nominees and takes a vote of the membership.

PLEASE contact Karen Rasmussen, karenrasmus@yahoo.com, 281-706-4161, if you are willing to be the Nominating Committee Chairperson and/or serve on th committee.
