CHAPTER OFFICER ELECTIONS
Believe it or not, we’ve made it through our first formal year as a Chapter with Chapter Officers and it’s time again to elect Officers for the coming year! As you may recall, the Bylaws indicate that we need to stagger the elected positions with one and two year terms. As such, the Secretary and Vice President positions are up for election this year. Here is a bit of the formal information related to the positions.
The duties of the Officers are to conduct the business of the Chapter as defined by the State program Bylaws or desired and approved by the Chapter members. The Chapter Officer positions up for elections and their respective duties are as follows:
- Vice President /President –Elect – Acting in President’s absence, assuming role of President at expiration of President’s term.
- Secretary – taking meeting minutes and distributing them to the membership, maintaining all records of the Chapter including membership information , preparing required reports.
Nominations for officers will be accepted in writing prior to our September 14th Chapter meeting. This is a perfect opportunity to further develop this Chapter and in doing so help progress the mission of the MN Master Naturalist to also develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within our communities. Those interested will need to submit in writing which position your interested in, why you are interested in the position, and what you can bring to the position. Self -nominations will need to be submitted no later than September 9th. You can submit your self-nomination to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of your current Chapter Officers. So plant your seed and help the Chapter grow!!!
Thanks,
Ilene Coon, President
Twin Cities Chapter MN Master Naturalists
