<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I can’t believe we’re almost into March and the OASFAA board election is upon us.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">When I sent this request last year, little did I know so many colleagues would step-up and volunteer to serve on committees as well as run for a board position. When I yelled, “<b><u>WE DESPERATELY
NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS”</u></b> y’all listened and we are so grateful! So here we are and I’m not yelling but optimistically asking for your help once again. The board usually meets 7-8 times per year and finally we’re meeting in person with minimal zoom meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Offices up for election are President-Elect (3 yr. commitment), Treasurer-Elect (2 yr. commitment), Secretary (1 yr. commitment) and Delegate-at-Large (2 yr. commitment).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Speaking from experience, volunteering in any capacity is so rewarding and lifelong friendships are made. So, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to serve and
send me your nominations today!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
