IT'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE AN OFFICER AND JOIN THE STEERING COMMITTEE!!!<br><br>Election time! The Exiles has been providing educational opportunities for all those who identify as other than male since 1997. The club has changed as times have changed, and now it is time for change again. There are four elected offices that need to be filled during this election. One Co-coordinator, a 2 year term, Treasurer, Recorder, and Membership Officer, all for one year terms. These four positions are elected at the March program meeting. Furthermore, there are seven appointed officers: Newsletter Editor, PR Officer, Orientation Officer, Doorkeeper, Sergeant-at-Arms, Web Site Manager, and Volunteer Coordinator, all of which will be filled at the April 6 business meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>If you are interested in any of these offices, please contact the current Co-coordinators, Rio and Lou, at cocos (at) theexiles (dot) org as soon as possible.
