While we currently have an executive, most members have been here a long time. Organizations, such as ours, always need new ideas and new personalities in order to grow and thrive.<\/p>\n<p>For time commitments, there are three branch events each year and the executive also meets a couple of weeks prior to each meeting for planning. There is also a regional meeting on the island and a district meeting on the mainland each year for some volunteers to attend, all expenses paid of course. The President, and if funding is available, the Vice-President also attend the annual meeting of members (AMM) in Ottawa each year.<\/p>\n<p>This is an opportunity to participate in a national advocacy organization as an advocate or in a supporting role. Here is a chance to exercise your leadership and organizational skills. There is plenty of training and assistance from all levels of the association.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested, or have questions, please call me at (778) 936-9301, or talk to any of the executive at the next meeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rick Devlieger<\/strong><br \/>President\u00a0<br \/>Duncan &amp;
