The deadline for Member at Large applications has been extended to 11:59 PM Friday, February 23, 2018.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While we received applicants for the Vice President and Treasurer positions<\/span>, there were insufficient applications received to fill our Member at Large Board of Directors openings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of this, the FSAA is extending the deadline for Member at Large applications.\u00a0Here\u2019s a link to the application<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please consider leading where you are and joining the FSAA board for a two-year term as a Member at Large. Ford Alumni take opportunities like these to create the change in their communities they want to see. We hope you take this opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a reminder of the qualifications needed to take to apply:<\/span><\/p>\n

• You do NOT have to live in Oregon to serve; you can attend board meetings via teleconference or online video communications. <\/span><\/li>\n
