    2009 is almost apon us and GIRS needs trustees. If your looking to take a position and get some great experience  on the BOD throw your hat into the mix. Experience isn't a must but a good attitude and a love for the hobby is. On a side note JB and I have discussed the trustee matter and have decided that any area that DOES NOT have a trustee WILL NOT have area events. The main BOD schedules are hard enough to balance, the addition of area events to that schedule just isn't an opition. So please think it over, maybe you've thought about it?, maybe you've always wanted to and never have? this year you can!!!

    Another small change this year will be the addition of a secondary trustee. If an area has more than one trustee nomination we may grant that area the option to have 2 trustees. One as the main and one for somewhat of a training year and to pick up the slack if something were to come up for the main.

    Hi, my name is Austin Reynolds and I live In Des Moines and I would be interested in being the secondary trustee. I would love to gain the experience and become more involved in this club and hobby. I am newer to both but feel like this would be a great opportunity for me to dive in a little deeper. My personal goal right now is trying to start a non profit org to help promote marine education in the midwest and I think this would help me in many ways with that. So if the spot is available I would be willing to help this club anyway I can.

    I will self nominate for Trustee and would be happy with the help of Rustin (sorry forgot your real name) if it comes my way.

    Jason, are we voting again this year or are you appointing?

    I would like to nominate Joel Tesdall as Senior Trustee. Joel has been a great help in the past with my reef and many others. Joel approaches all angles of the hobbie with great interest and critique. Vote for Joel!!!
    I would like to nominate Ryan Holl as Second Trustee. Ryan also has been a great deal of help in the past, with his vast knowlege of natural and captive reef systems. Ryan is a walking Dictionary when it comes to corals. Having said that Ryans schedule is very busy. But with the teamwork between both, GIRS and its members will be rewarded in the end....Dave        Vote for Ryan!!!

    Thats still up for grabs, I don't mind voting...but with the low numbers in people applying for the jobs I think it might be just as easy to say "yep your it" rather than waste the time voting
