With the arrival of Rabbi Ed Stafman as our resident Rabbi, this is an exciting time to be a part of Congregation Beth Shalom. Representative participation from our membership is needed now more than ever to serve on the Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, and on Committees.

The Nominating Committee has been appointed to review all applications and submit nominations to the Board of Directors. The Board-approved slate will then be submitted to the congregation for election at the Annual Congregation Meeting on Monday, June 22, 6 pm. The Nominating Committee this year consists of DeeDee Rasmus, Jacob Werner, Diane Yankelevitz, and me.

We invite you to apply to serve as an officer or an at-large member of the Board of Directors. There are several positions open for 2-year terms beginning July 1, 2009. Obligations of a Director minimally include attendance at monthly meetings, serving as chair of a temple committee or project, and a willingness to share ideas and work as a team with the clergy and lay leadership. Pursuant to the temple bylaws, any Jewish member in good standing (current in dues and fees commitments) is eligible to serve on the Board of Directors.
