Update 14 May: We had a very productive board meeting about two weeks ago. Here are the highlights in no particular order: We are going to have a vote for the board of directors on the last week of June, (24-30) with voting closing on midnight the 30th. We have lowered membership to $5.00 per year until the new board can be put in place to increase the numbers of voters. Those people that have donated previously will not need to pay $5.00 again to vote. Anyone that paid $25 will be considered a member for the next two years. You will need to be a member of American Canyoneers by 23 June to vote. For those interested in running, submit your BIO on the American Canyoneers web site starting 1 June with your idea for the direction for American Canyoneers from here on out. Right now we have $2200 in donations and collections through membership fees. We are incorporated in Az. We have a vision and a mission statement. 501c3 papers have not been filed, although the process could be completed (filing) within a few weeks. There will be a long list of issues the new board will be faced with, to say the least. It is very important for the members of the canyoneering community to express their desires and vote not only for the board of directors, but, also the direction of American Canyoneers. Other then 501c3 paperwork being filed, we feel the IBOD has performed its duty and it’s time for the elected board of directors to take over.
