Now that the club has elected its new Board of Directorys for 2008, we are moving on to the process of nominating local trustees for the 4 main regions of the club.  Trustees play an important role in supporting the GIRS BOD and making sure that each region is well represented in the club.  If you would like to nominate someone (or yourself) please do so in the following discussion threads:

• Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Nominations Thread
• Des Moines Nominations Thread
• Quad Cities Nominations Thread
