DC Academy Board Volunteer Needed – Vice President
We need a volunteer for our board to fill the position of Vice President. This position rises to President-elect, President and then becomes an Advisor. While it is a 6 year commitment, most of the time you simply provide input on issues that may arise. Preferably, we’d like the volunteer to come from one of our members who attends at the Elks Lodge. If you’d like more information or to volunteer, please contact Larry Koffer.
