ADMINISTRATOR’S MESSAGE FROM HARRIET

The January meeting included the nominating of officers. We have candidates for Treasurer and Secretary, Marilyn Forsstrom and Chris Taxier , but we need nominees for Administrator. Without this position the La Palma Cerritos branch of AAUW will not exist. There are options. We can either have one person who has this position or like we have done before several people who have each month with one who chooses to accept the primary job so National has a name to email to.  The duties are to have a board meeting when necessary, receive email from CA and National AAUW, and conduct the monthly meetings. You would also be available for the members when needed.  Please let me know if you choose to participate in this position.

Your Administrator Harriet  💐🪻🌷
