An individual must be a member in good standing to be nominated for any position.
This year the elections will be held on Monday, June 20, 6:00 p.m., at the annual General Membership Meeting at Riverview Park, east end of 5th Street at Marsh Road in Carson City. Details will be forthcoming as the date in June approaches.
*The secretary, treasurer, runs director and volunteer director positions are two-year terms and will not come open until the end of June 2017.
