Joining the Board of Directors

 

The LCC Board of Directors consists of five to fifteen individuals representing different backgrounds and fields of expertise.  Board members aim to strengthen and support LCC by providing guidance to the Chairman of the Board and other officers and participating in the life of this vibrant organization. Board member qualities include leadership, a desire to participate, a willingness to work and a personal connection to LCC’s mission.  Officer positions on the Board include Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.  Meetings are held monthly between August and June (December and July are excluded), and occur on the third Thursday between noon and 2:00 pm.  Members of the organization vote for the Board of Directors at the annual membership meeting held in June.
