  • Calling parents asking/encouraging them to consider serving on the board (includes contacting current board members)
  • Meeting 2-3 times with all committee members to discuss nominations and needs
  • Rendering nominations for each position to the booster organization by the end of February.  Board members will be voted in during the March Booster Meeting.
