About the Board of Directors
Directors serve 3-year terms. After each election, the board of directors choose 4 officers (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) to serve a 1-year term. Contact the president if there is an issue you think the board needs to consider (the president makes all the agendas). Contact the vice president for questions about democratic process (eg, the president won’t put something on the agenda you think needs to be considered). Contact the secretary to nominate someone or with concerns about membership or records. Inquiries about caucuses should go to info@MilwaukeeCLT.org and everything else to chris@MilwaukeeCLT.org
president@MilwaukeeCLT.org
vicepresident@MilwaukeeCLT.org
secretary@MilwaukeeCLT.org
