3 Board Member Openings

The meetings are monthly, in the evening and last about 3-5 hrs. We are seeking individuals who can represent the school and not their own personal interests. We are especially interested in someone with accounting expertise. Also, if you know someone who is not affiliated with the school but whose expertise would be beneficial to SH, please encourage s/he to apply. If you are interested, then please email your biography and why you wish to participate on the Board to Jean Brown at jbrown@jeanbrownresearch.com by April 1st. Bios will be published in the SH newsletter and the final vote taken at the end of May. Thank you.
