The NIOA Newsletter - August 2021 Edition

Hello friends of the NIOA!

NIOA Slate of Officers:

At the October meeting, we will be accepting nominations for NIOA officers. Katie Hernandez has served four years as an officer and would like to hand off the reigns to a committed member who will work with John & Tim to continue providing valuable training and other opportunities to our members. If you are interested in serving, but have questions, please feel free to contact any one of your officers: John Magsam, Tim Woodward or Katie Hernandez. Or, give one of the previous officers a call (Bill Reed, Craig Williams, Jeff Krotke, Jeff Hersha, to name a few). We have streamlined a lot of the work required to serve as officer; it does require a small time commitment, but it is worth it. Please, please, please consider serving!
