<CORSA Chapters> CORSA Board elections

[tim mahler]

The past 2-3 postings I made to the chapter list has been about members. 
This month,  I want to ask all current and former chapter leaders if they 
have considered serving on the CORSA board.  Most CORSA directors started as 
chapter officers,  the leaders of the club.  And as leaders of the local 
chapters,  you have an idea of what the members are looking for in the 
national club.  It is a natural progression.   It does take some time, 
mostly email,  and attending the national convention.  If you think you 
might be interested,  let me know, or another board member could tell you 
about the duties and responsibilities required.  Just remember, by March 1, 
anyone interested in serving on the CORSA board should have sent their 
nomination request to Sarah Betrami at sarahvair at juno.com.  It doesn't take 
much to be nominated. Just send a brief bio, your name,  what region you are 
reside, a picture, and if you want, some brief reasons why you want to serve 
on the board.

On another note,  The CORSA board is expected to hear presentations for the 
2010 CORSA Convention.  2010 is scheduled to be held somewhere in the 
Central division.  If your chapter is interested,  please contact Larry 
Claypool soon.   It takes time to prepare the presentation (Hotel location, 
basic description of the site, parking autocross etc), and time is running 
short.  Some chapters have expressed interest, but I do not know if any have 
confirmed with Larry that their chapter is definitely interested.  That's 
Larry's arena.   Questions should be directed to Larry,  or Harry Jensen. 
Believe it or not,  it is not too early to be thinking about 2011 (West) and 
2012 (East). I know my local visitor and tourist bureau would love for me to 
have them help with a convention,  but my local chapter is quite small.
