Okay guys. We are like four months aware on nominations. @amado or @DangerDave if y’all want to step up that would be awesome. I want to spend time with the potential
new treasurer and president.
 
Which positions are open still! It seems like all of them from forum post. I may be interested in one of the positions albeit I’m new to this.

You are a lot farther along than you admit. But I think the position isn't as much about experience with reefing as it is with the 'business' end, and I think you'd be great

Thank you for your kind words.

Wow I didn’t even know there was all this going on in a reef club. I’m very new to all this and it is very interesting!
 
I haven't been on here in quite a while. Hope everyone is doing well! I looked for my old copy of the By-Laws, but can't find them.

I know the existing board members may be burnt out, but for those that aren't and may want to keep their positions, there should be a section in the By-Laws regarding how to present & vote on amendments to the By-Laws. Just a thought.
