Nine (9) Open Seats for 2023
Serving on the board of directors is an enormous responsibility. It requires time, dedication and attendance at Board meetings, committee meetings and emergency meetings. It is also a thankless job. You will be responsible to vote for and carry out enforcing the rules and regulations, bylaws and procedures put in place. Despite the fact it is a volunteer position, you will be a critical part of the association. We welcome applicants who wish to bring their integrity, knowledge, experience and work ethic to the table to help shape the future of Wild Acres!
