GET INVOLVED!

Our Seattle Branch is the oldest and largest of The Mountaineers branches. Its leaders and committees schedule over a thousand activities a year and over a hundred courses and seminars. Seattle policies dictate that a Nominating Committee be formed each year by July 1. If no nominations are found, the Branch Chair may nominate individuals subject to approval of the council. Any member, however, may petition for a nomination with the support of ten other members submitted by August 1. Unless otherwise set by the council, elections occur at the regularly scheduled September council meeting. Terms last 2 years.
