NAPO-DFW, Inc.
Greetings!
 

It is time for nominations for the 2010-2011 Board of Director Positions and the Nominating Committee of NAPO-DFW is asking for your support of continuing the great works of our chapter. 


You are allowed to self-nominate or nominate your fellow NAPO-DFW chapter members and a short description for each board position is listed below.  All current members of the chapter are listed on the NAPO-DFW member's directory at www.napodfw.com.  Once nominations are received we will contact the nominees to see if it fits their vision for the upcoming year and prepare the ballot that will be sent to chapter members in February.  

 

Serving on the board brings many benefits - an enhanced listing on our website; developing close relationships with other members of the board and chapter; industry related networking; leadership development; credit towards certification; discounts; advertising incentives and more. 

 

Not interested in serving on the board but would still like to be more involved in the chapter?  We have many volunteer opportunities available and would love to hear about your interest in volunteering.  

 

Our Chapter's success is carried forward by those individuals willing to donate their time, energy, creativity, and other contributions to make the chapter a reality for ALL of us!  Please send all nominations for the board and/or your interest to volunteer to Christine Shanklin, pastpresident@napodfw.com.

Kind regards,

Trish
