The voting period on your election will end 7 days after your announcement. Duties largely consist of being available for occasional votes to approve expenses or discuss larger organizational decisions a minimum of quarterly. It is encouraged to write a small blurb about yourself and what you would like HamWAN to do, and what you bring to the table, so that folks who aren’t immediately familiar with your name can have an idea on who they’re voting for.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>There will be much to do in the coming year(s).
