Steering Committee Elections – Can You Serve?

Your HLAA-LA chapter is looking for a few good people to stand for our September 22 steering committee election. Are you one of them?

As a steering committee member, you’ll be part of the team that shapes chapter meetings, parties and other activities.

To serve on the steering committee, you need to meet these requirements.

·     Be a paid member of HLAA National

·     Have attended a minimum of six chapter meetings

·     Participate in 5-10 hours per month of online SC communication

·     Know or willing to learn Slack and Confluence online programs for SC communications

·     Have a valid email address

·     Respond to written SC communications within 24 hours

·     Attend all SC meetings (on average, following every other chapter meeting)

Yes, this is a comprehensive list. But serving on the steering committee gives you the satisfaction of doing something worthwhile for yourself and your hearing loss community!

If you are interested, or have questions, please send an email to info@hlaa-la.org and a steering committee member will respond.
