Election Fever
Now that we have a national president, it's time to elect a local president, and vp, and treasurer... of the CAABJ!
We've had a very productive year, from our engaging Accessing the Media Workshop to a successful DNC Host Mixer to well put-together fundraisers like our Wine Tasting Event and the fundraiser for the college scholarship. The past year has been full of successes.
We need your help to continue the momentum and take CAABJ to the next level. CAABJ is now soliciting people to be leaders as we embark on another election season. We are looking for a President, VP of Broadcast, VP of Print, Treasurer, Secretary, and Parliamentarian to take over next month.
If you are interested please email info@caabj.org by Thursday, November 15th at 5 p.m. If you're thinking about stepping up but aren't sure, contact a current board member and get the inside track on what it's like--their contact information is in the far-left column on the screen. You won't regret it!
