The Board of Trustees is in need of CSO members who are willing to go the extra mile and run for election to the Board to assist in the planning, governing, and conducting the affairs of the Society. We have an immediate need for someone with an accounting background to become our Treasurer. Interested parties should contact any Officer or Trustee.
