GOVERNANCE


It’s Election Time!
Service unit managers and area association chairs will receive their 2009-2010 delegate election packets at Membership Kick-Off on Aug. 1, or immediately thereafter in the mail. Service units are encouraged to hold elections as early as possible, with a goal of having those rosters done by September. Rosters must be in to the Tampa Service Center (attn: Kathy Sandy, executive assistant) by Monday, Oct. 12 in order to get all your delegates on the books in time for the October area association meetings.



Lakeland Golden Stars…Lakeland Guiding Lights…Mulberry/ Highlands…Strawberry
If you belong to one of those great service units, appreciate the need for strong governance, and are an adult volunteer or a girl member age 14 or above – you could be an area association chair! Area J is looking for someone who wants to help influence the policy of our council, who can chair an area association meeting (we provide all the materials) and who wants to be active at the Annual Meeting. If you think you might be interested in being the area association chair of Area J, contact Kathy Sandy: (813) 262-1771.
