MCDC Families,

 

It’s almost time for our annual Board elections.  Positions up for election this year are:

  • President (must be a MSFC civil servant) – 2 year term
  • Secretary – 2 year term
  • Registrar (must be a MSFC civil servant) – 2 year term
  • Member-at-Large, representing enrolled families – 1 year term
  • Member-at-Large, representing wait-list families – 1 year term

 

If you would like to run for one of the board positions, please send me a short bio and indicate which position you would like to run for, by Thursday, April 2nd.  Elections will be on April 16th, giving the new members some time to get up to speed and interact with current board members before their term officially starts on June 1st.

 

With regards to running for the board, demands on their time is one of the biggest fears parents have. Almost every new board member started with the same concern, but it always ends up working out. Board membership is a meaningful way to help MCDC, and is absolutely worth the small amount of time it takes. I can tell you that I will treasure the past 3 years I’ve served as a board member. If you have any questions about the positions, please feel free to contact me or any of the other board members.

 

Regards,

Vicky Garcia
