Hello WALH campers and volunteers,
It is that time of year when we start looking ahead to the nomination and selection process of the 2018-2019 Board of Directors. WALH is a truly unique organization with many talented and committed members – we seek you out and encourage you to take this opportunity to either continue to, or take that next step in supporting summer camp from a different perspective.
Nominations can be Individual Members “IM” (as described in Article II, Section 1.1. of the “With A Little Help…”, Inc. Bylaws) self-nominations, or nominations made by another IM. The Nomination Committee will verify interest with everyone that has been nominated and if they agree, the nominate will be asked to submit a short written biography.
