Position training will occur for VPs in the Spring where incoming board members (VPs) will listen in to the monthly board calls prior to 7/1 to get a better handle on current board topics and a feel for your upcoming role.

Position training for all other positions will occur late summer, either virtually or in-person depending on your position and proximity to the board members you will be working with most closely.
Please indicate below any dates you are unavailable in July and October and would not be able to make the Board Retreat commitments. We will follow up when dates are being finalized to confirm.
