Time to vote! We are thrilled to have six nominees for our club's Board of Directors. The election will run through June 16th with the four leading vote getters winning a two-year term that will begin on July 1st.

Please take a few minutes to learn about all of the candidates and vote in the election. To be eligible to vote you must be a member. We welcome you to join to vote for your candidates of choice!



Our club is at an inflection point, and four of these six candidates will have a major influence on the direction of the club in the future. The Board represents our members, and with the slim margins our elections usually have, every vote truly matters.
