Dear fellow FTAA members,
 
FTAA 2017 elections are coming up, and we are looking for individuals to be part of a great volunteer team!
 
The Nominating Committee is requesting nominations for members to serve on the FTAA  2017 – 2018 Board of Directors. Members may nominate themselves or any other member in good standing. Any member, including the past presidents of FTAA, who paid their 2016, 2017 or 2018 membership dues can be nominated. This is a great opportunity to participate with FTAA at the Board level as an active member, to connect with others who share your passion, and contribute your skills and expertise to support and strengthen your local Turkish-American Community. Board members are required to attend regular meetings, chair committees, attend or assist at planning sessions and events, and work on fundraising initiatives. Members who have previously contributed both time and resources to the FTAA will be strongly considered. There are 8 board seats available at the upcoming election. There are also 3 Member Audit seats, and 3 Ethic Committee seats available.
