Lakota West Upbeat Club Board 2018-19 Elections
It is that time of year where we bid farewell to some awesome parents who have served on the Upbeat Board, while we also look for new parents to step into these positions. Our Board elections will be at our April meeting on the 19th.
The following positions are available for the 2018-19 school year:
- President
- Vice President
- Secretary
- Freshman Vice President
The President and Vice President will work closely together, almost as Co-Presidents so not to overwhelm any one individual. We work hard to make the transition go smoothly for Board Positions as well as Event Leads. The details and notes are captured, we just people with spirit and energy to keep us moving forward. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Jen Daiker at secretary@lakotawestbands.org, or Dawn DiLorenzo at president@lakotawestbands.org.
All nominations need to be sent to president@lakotawestbands.org by April 16.
