NAMI-WA Seeking Candidates for State Board Vacancies

The Washington State NAMI board is seeking members interested in serving on the board. There are at least four positions open for the 2008 election, which will take place at the annual meeting in June. Any fully paid dues member is eligible.

President Gordon Bopp and Secretary Jackie Herum will be leaving the Board. The two other vacancies resulted from resignations by John Winesdorfer and Larry Richardson, both for serious health conditions.

A NAMI-WA board member/officer is elected for a two (2) year term and can be re-elected to two (2) consecutive two-year terms.

If a board member resigns or is terminated, the appointee completes the term and must apply for the position for the next term.

Board member applicants should submit resumes including information as to education, experiences, local affiliation and any personal information deemed necessary and pertinent.

As we all seek strong candidates for our important leadership positions, please consider people from your community of friends who have strong skills to bring to the board. For instance, if there is a person who has grant-writing skills, an attorney, an accountant, a public-relations person—all these people would add strength to our board.
