SANDRA welcomes and encourages its
membership to become involved in a variety of club activities. There are
many ways to participate, with several
requiring just a fraction of your time. Level of commitment is
totally up to you.
Club Business and Operations:
Members
interested in becoming involved in club business and operations can select
from individually participating on an ad-hoc committee (30 to 90 day
commitment) to holding an office on the board of directors (one year
commitment after one year as a member of good standing). More about
the roles and responsibilities of club officers and elected officials as
well as committee chairs and committee members can be found in our club
policy manual.
Club Social and Technical Activities:
Participating
in club activities is a great opportunity for both new and long time
members to help support the club core. Some activities are strictly
social, while others may be more technical. Here is a brief outline
of the types of activities in which we welcome you to participate:
