2026 Coordinating Group

The Coordinating Group consists of the Core Group and the chair and co-chair of each Working Group.  Coordinators meet five times per year by Zoom, in between the General Meetings; their job is to guide the group, make suggestions, and carry out decisions made by members. Positions are shared, so there's always someone else to turn to for advice or to take your place if you are away. Thank you to those members who stepped up to fill these positions! 

The Core Group meets if decisions and advice are required between Coordinating Group meetings.  The first year in a Core Group the co-position role involves learning the requirements of the job and assisting with the job. The second year involves taking over the responsibilities of the job and training the new person for the position. Two exceptions are the Treasurer and Membership positions in which the Co-Treasurer and Membership Co-Chair hold the position for two years followed by two years as Treasurer and Membership Chair. The other exception is the Coordinator role which goes on for a third year as Past Coordinator.

 Elections are held yearly for new co-positions.
