Board Positions Available!

Are you interested in gaining some great leadership skills while giving back to your chapter! Well here is your chance we have two board positions just waiting for a chapter member to step up to the challenge.

• Vice President and Membership Chair - this position handles all the membership duties, such as maintaining our chapter membership database, welcoming new members and distributing membership e-packages, assisting ARMA International in pulling together names for their annual membership drive. If you like networking and dealing directly with our members, then this position is for you!

• Board of Director - this position serves in an advisory role to the Board and is a great way for a new member to get involved and see how the chapter is ran. If you wanted to get involved but are not quite ready to step into the VP shoes, then this is a greater "starter" position.

If you are interested in either of these positions, please contact Chapter President Tara Ramos.
