MEMBERS,

As a reminder Arch Reactor is entirely kept running by volunteers, which if you remember at the time you joined is mandatory for everyone to serve at least 2 hours per month.

But if you want to be a total bada&&, considered to be a super macho beefcake/beefcakess with brains and brawn,

serving on the board is one way to help keep our community and space going strong (...and that pretty much will cover your volunteer time and then some).

If you are willing to serve please feel free to nominate yourself on this form, or if you know someone that would be a good fit, please nominate them.

We currently need nominations for the President, Secretary, and Director of Education.

The current members filling these roles are precluded from running due to our new term limit rules.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5hO6KidPUayjKLAMXXvBTg6gtBO9tXht6EE6kn0mgHIj5tw/viewform

the above form will allow you to submit nominations, as well as seeing who is currently nominated. Google Docs Virtual Whiteboard of Democracy 2021

Please use this form to submit nominations for the Board of Directors. Nominations will be accepted through January 18th.

Below is a description of the duties of each position as it is listed in our Bylaws and Standing Rules.

At the bottom of the page, you can submit the name of your nominee and what position you are nominating them for.

Members,  

Every year around this time we like to offer a few more "open" hours to accomodate our part time members, those who don't have full access, so that they have plenty of opportunity to get in and make some Christmas Gifts, etc. 

So starting this week, every night should be opened. 

Thanks,

The Board.
