There's still time to run for a position as a MI UPA officer!

[MiUPA]

The Michigan UPA needs some officers!

We are holding elections in October (voting will start October 25 and
end October 29). Have you thought about running for a position on the
board? This position would allow you to take a leading role in
organizing MI UPA meetings and conferences, interact with other
professional organizations, and gain valuable experience. Although a
position on the MI UPA board requires that you be a member of UPA, the
MI UPA will sponsor the membership of its board members.

If you are interested in running for the MI UPA board, you must be a
member of the UPA and have a bio and statement by October 15th. If
you’re interested in running for the board and have any questions
about it, please contact Mike Beasley at trea...@miupa.org, or any
of the other officers. We’ll be happy to tell you more and help you
get your materials together. Previously, candidates have simply run to
be part of the board, and then the new board met to assign officer
positions. If, however, you are interested in a specific position,
feel free to indicate it!

As a board member, you could fill one of these exciting positions!

* President: Ensure smooth operation of chapter by delegating tasks,
acting the primary point of communication with UPA and other
professional organizations, and organizing board meetings
* Vice President: Fill the president’s role when the president is
unavailable or incapacitated
* Treasurer: Oversee chapter funds and manage the chapter’s budget
* Secretary: Ensure chapter’s compliance with chapter and UPA bylaws
(don’t worry, it’s all written down and not that hard)

But wait, there’s more! The most important duty is actually shared by
all of the officers: organizing meetings and seeking opportunities for
the Michigan UPA to reach out to people and other professional
organizations. In this way, everyone gets a chance to shine and to
shape the direction of the chapter.
