Invitation to be involved with the OBIN C-Team

An important component of the Business meeting is to select, or at a minimum recommend, a slate of volunteers to form the Coordinating Team (C-Team) for the upcoming 2020-2021 year. Our current structure is made up of a Facilitator and five Coordinators, plus optional topical teams to carry out specific duties and tasks as required.

We are pleased that a new Treasurer and Recording Secretary have recently joined the C-Team.

Job descriptions for the positions noted above are found in the OBIN Basis of Affiliation.

Most members of the current C-Team have agreed to continue for at least one more year if approved by the members. It is also crucial for new volunteers to join in. We rely on you to continually replenish us with new energy and ideas.

Advance notice of your interest in working with the C-Team should be sent to [email protected]

Thank you for your ongoing support!
