WLC General Annual Membership Meeting 2019

We have the Spring General Annual Membership Meeting on May 11, 2019. We will meet on the 3rd floor of the Museum at the Utah Olympic Park. Join us for breakfast burritos from 9 – 9:30am and learn about the open board positions and committee opportunities for the next year. Meeting will start at 9:30am. I have attached a copy of the agenda for your review. I have also listed below the job descriptions for each of the positions currently up for election. Anyone who is a member of the Wasatch Luge Club may run for any position. None of the current officers are re-running for their positions so if you have ever thought about serving on the board, now is the time to do so!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
