**************************************************************** * SEDS-Chapters : Official SEDS-USA Communications to Chapters * * Please Forward This to Your Chapter if Appropriate * **************************************************************** 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.
