Hello,
There are a number of SEDS-USA Board Positions that are currently
open. Is anyone out there interested in filling one of these
positions until May, at which time the formal elections for 2000-2001
will take place? You will only be appointed an "acting director"
until then. Although you won't be an official board member, by
serving as "acting director" you will definitely increase your
chances of being elected to the Board next school year. So if you are
interested in one of these positions, please send me an email! Any
member of any SEDS chapter is invited to serve on the Board, as long
as they are a registered student.
Thanks,
Samidh Chakrabarti
