We did an amazing amount of work during our second term, and we have a lot of things planned for the next. Many of our current committee members will be returning for a third term, and we are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated people to join them.

No technical knowledge is required--all you need is the ability to summarize a two-hour meeting in a half-page of short, bulleted minutes.
