This will be presented and voted on at the Annual Business Meeting on July 18th, 2009. Anything that will be taken out is marked through and anything that is to be added is in red. Please look over this document and feel free to email any questions or concerns you may have to Marci Briant at bayfridpresident@yahoo.com.

Committees are the backbone of our organization. Take a look and jump in where you feel you fit!
Standing Committees:
Workshop Committee
One of BayFRID’s most important responsibilities is providing professional development opportunities for its membership, a daunting task to say the least. But you can help! We need people interested in being part of brainstorming workshop ideas, advertising and connecting with presenters. Don’t worry if you feel like you don’t have enough prior knowledge or experience. If you like the networking game and want to be part of the latest buzz, email Kerstin Ritzie at BayFRIDMAL@yahoo.com for more details.

Ad Hoc Committees:
Nominations Committee
Can you believe it’s already that time again? BayFRID is preparing for our Annual Business Meeting and that means elections. It’s been an interesting year on the BayFRID Board and we will have four positions up for election: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. A strong Nominations Committee will be vital to BayFRID’s future. If you are interested in serving as chair of this committee or just as a member, please contact Marci Briant at bayfridpresident@yahoo.com.
