A call for new board members to apply online… for the term beginning in 2012
and a special THANK YOU to all Founding Chapter Presidents & Board Members
In 2012, many of our chapters will be saying goodbye to board members who spent two years helping Wish Upon a Wedding go from being a little idea scratched on a napkin, to achieving incredible levels of success. They believed in our mission from the very beginning and hold dear to their hearts the concept of giving back to those in need. They incorporated charity into their daily schedules, often putting their own work and families aside, allowing Wish Upon a Wedding to be graced with their invaluable service. For that we are forever grateful.
Anyone interested in helping the organization enter into our next exciting phase is encouraged to apply as a board member. By serving on your local board of directors, or on the National Board, you will play a pivotal role in the policy making and direction of Wish Upon a Wedding. Please fill out an online application to get started today. Elections will be held across the nation in October.
These Presidents, along with their 200 board members, deserve special recognition and THANKS for their service and dedication during 2010 and 2011. Wish Upon a Wedding can only do what we do with the support of our hard-working volunteers (6.300 of them…and counting!)
(* some Presidents have just recently joined us, and we are delighted to announce them here *)
