2020 Board Elections
The 2020 board elections are scheduled for the May 2020 chapter meeting. I encourage everyone to consider nominating themselves or a member they believe would be an asset to any of the positions. This is a great opportunity to network with other payroll professionals or expand your existing networks. It is also an excellent opportunity for those who have never served to get involved with our local APA chapter and for those who have served in the past to continue their involvement.
The positions eligible for election this year are: Vice President, Secretary, Hospitality Chair, Nomination Chair, National Payroll Week/Community Development Chair, and Education Chair.
Positions begin in June 2020 and run for two years. Please consider nominating yourself or someone you know!
Deadline for nominations - April 30, 2020.
Thank you,
Cheri Klyn, CPP Nominations Chair [email protected]
