KGS Leadership Election!
 
Nominations are due by Nov. 1 for voting on Nov. 9. The new board will begin its new two-year term on January1, 2020. Bylaws prohibit some present officers from being re-elected to their positions, so having nominations for new leaders is especially important.
 
See a list of board positions and specific responsibilities in Article V of the bylaws. Submit your nominations by email. Members may nominate themselves or any KGS member who is willing to serve.
