2022-2023 BCRR Board Elections

Wednesday, July 13th @ Valhalla

Dear BCRR Members,

The 2021-2022 BCRR Board has reached the end of their term, and it is time for the 2022-2023 elections. The current nominations are below:

President – Lisa Thompson
Vice President- David Piper
Secretary – Steve Hasson
Treasurer – Sarah Austin

In light of the continued prevalence of COVID, the end of the year banquet is postponed until the fall. BCRR will be hosting a club meeting Wednesday, July 13th following the Official club run. Voting will be open 7:30 PM until 8:30 PM. The club will provide pizza and a beer tab in celebration!

We hope many of you will be able to attend and vote in the 2022-2023 BCRR Board. We will also be proposing an amendment to the BCRR Bylaws which will allow for online voting to take place to elect future BCRR Board members.

The club is also in need of a member to take over the weekly email. We currently use an automated system that can be prepared in advance. Please reply to this email if interested.

The current board has enjoyed serving over the past year and look forward to the new board and new ideas!

Sincerely -

The 2021-2022 BCRR Board
