Non Profit Update: Call for Board Members

Are you interested in getting more involved with what goes on with the team? Temescal Masters needs YOU!

In June 2011, Teme will officially become a non-profit organization. The team’s current ‘Steering Committee’ [i.e. the bunch of dedicated folks who turn up to our monthly Wednesday meetings to discuss & decide what goes on with the team] will transition to an advisory capacity and the team will then have the chance to elect those interested in volunteering for a new Board of Directors. Once elected, the Board will be responsible for managing the team. Please see the job description for Board members below.
