The Membership Chair is a voting member of the board with a three-year renewable term .


After five years of growing this program, Jeff Anderson is stepping back so we need a replacement.

Work includes finding and coordinating judges, communicating with schools and students, screening submissions, and more. Time estimate 60-70 hours annually. Learn more about these contests. .
