Hi CALS BoD,
Hope this message finds you well!
Hoping to receive some nominations from folks who may be interested in serving a second term as a Director and/or third or fourth term on the Executive. It’s wonderful to have some knowledge sharing between the 2023-2026 and 2026-2029 boards. 😊
Please reach out if you have any questions! Would love to see representation across Canada on the Board!
Warm wishes, Dawn
