2026-27 Club Leadership

in

A special note from our PVCC Club Secretary:

As we look ahead to the coming year, we would like to encourage all members to consider taking a more active role in shaping the future of our club. In accordance with our bylaws, a nominating committee shall be established by the President at the last meeting in April.  Nominations shall be presented to the club at the first meeting in June. Nominations may be accepted from the floor, with the prior concurrence of the nominee.  The election shall be the third meeting in June.

Serving as an officer or committee member is a rewarding way to give back, share your perspective, and help ensure we continue to offer a vibrant and engaging experience for all. If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, now is the perfect time to step forward or support a fellow member who would make a great leader. Thank you in advance for giving this the consideration it deserves. This support is vital in order to keep our club functioning and delivering a best-in-class experience for our current and future club members.

Regards,
Mark
