USNA wants you to get involved in a meaningful way. If you are interested in being a member of the USNA Executive Committee, please contact Susan Schoenecker. She will present names to the USNA Nominating Committee in January.
The USNA Executive Committee comprises the president, president-elect, two marketing vice presidents, two service vice presidents, secretary, treasurer, volunteer coordinator, step up volunteer coordinator, ex officio/past president, and three members-at-large. They meet once each semester and attend as many of the monthly Wednesday meetings as their schedules allow. Responsibilities for the new board begin in August 2019.
If you are interested in getting to know other parents, have some free time, or want to get to know the school better, then be sure to contact Susan Schoenecker, and she will share a detailed job description. Some of the positions take a few hours a year, and others are a larger time commitment.
