2022-2023 Music Mentor Board Positions

At our April meeting, the Nominating Committee will be presenting their slate of officers for the 2022-2023 season. However, If you would like to nominate someone or yourself for a position in the event they are not on the slate the Nominating Committee presents, it must be done at the April meeting. In the past there have been requirements of attending 3 meetings, being active throughout the year and being a member of Music Mentors in good standing. With the past 2 years being out of the ordinary we will consider all volunteers.

Once all nominations have been brought forth at our April Meeting, those names will be placed on the ballot for May. In the event that there is only one person nominated for each position, a voice vote will be done at the May meeting.

The current officer positions are held by:
President: Angie Arslanian (willing to serve another year)
Vice-President: Amy Freeman (willing to serve another year)
Treasurer: Debbie Dittebrand/Julie Bates (in training) - Julie - willing to serve another year
Secretary: Kary Vogel (position will be open for the 2022-2023 year)

Committee Chairpersons:
The Committee Chairpersons are appointed positions, therefore, once final elections are held in May. Those position that are needed to be filled will be filled by the new Board. Again, if you have interest in seeing as a Committee Chairperson, you may email Angie Arslanian at [email protected]. She can answer your questions, and pass on your information when the time comes.
