  • Mentor Program
  • Education support ($700 cash back to students)
  • Programming for Hubs (approx. $3,000, dispersed through hubs based upon membership in ea. hub)
  • CMYK self funded, in each hub

New Leadership + New Opportunities

Please join me in welcome them to the board. Alli McAuley is stepping aside to enjoy her newborn baby girl, Freya. Doug Bartow is slide over to Albany Event Coordinator.

VP Sarah Burns will overseeing Programming/Events, primarily responsible for contacting our most active members in each Hub to let them know how much money has been allocated for programming in their Hub. Any money made from the event will be kept in that Hubs kitty for the remained of the programming year. Hopefully this will encourage other cities to get involved.
