2008 Committees Are Forming
Please consider serving on an STMA Committee in 2008. President Mike Andresen, CSFM will be appointing volunteers to serve on one of STMA's committees. Click here to see a list of volunteer opportunities and fill out an on-line form to indicate your interest in committee service. Sign-up sheets will also be available at the Registration Area at the annual conference in Phoenix. Appointments are for one year, March - February, and play an important role in brining membership perspective to STMA programs and services. Please sign up even if you are currently serving on a committee. Most committees meet via conference calls and offer a great opportunity to meet and learn from others, offer your viewpoint, and help to advance the work of STMA. The deadline to volunteer for a committee is Feb. 1.
