The MOUG Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for the offices of Secretary/Newsletter Editor (a 2-year commitment) and Continuing Education Coordinator (a 2-year commitment). We will assemble a slate of candidates for an election to be held later this fall. Terms of office will begin following the end of the MOUG annual meeting to be held February 2026 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Below are brief descriptions of each office, paraphrased from the MOUG Bylaws and MOUG Officers Handbook.
Secretary/Newsletter Editor: The person in this position serves for two years. The Secretary/Newsletter Editor serves as a member of the Executive Board and participates in general supervision of the organization’s affairs. This officer records the minutes of the annual business meeting and meetings of the Executive Board, and carries out other administrative duties. Additionally, the Secretary/Newsletter Editor is responsible for publication and distribution of the MOUG newsletter, which is published three times per year (currently June, September, and December).
Continuing Education Coordinator: The person in this position serves for two years. The Continuing Education Coordinator serves as a member of the Executive Board and participates in general supervision of the organization’s affairs. This officer chairs the Program Committee for the annual meeting, and oversees local arrangements and program planning/implementation for the annual meeting.
