    Associate Members

    Associate members are appointed by the governing body to serve on one or more governing body committees. They may also attend full governing body meetings. They are not governors and therefore do not have a vote in governing body decisions, but may be given a vote on decisions made by committees to which they are appointed.

    We currently have no Associate Members 

    Associate Member Term of Office Committee Membership
