The State Liaison Program was first organized in 1992 by the Vice President of SNRS at the request of the Board of Directors (BOD). Those in that role served the organization well but the BOD saw the need to formalize the activities of those in that role in 2006.
State Liaisons are to be SNRS members in good standing. They may volunteer or be nominated for their position by a member of the Society. They manage the membership for their respective state and serve as members of the Membership Committee under the Director of Membership, an elected BOD elected as director. The Director of Membership is chairperson of the SNRS Membership Committee and the State Liaison are the members of that committee.
Goals of the Program
The State Liaisons are selected to meet the following organizational goals:
- To encourage membership in SNRS;
- To improve communication between the Board and the membership;
- To increase involvement of members in SNRS activities;
- To assist with collecting information from the membership on issues or items of
concern.
If you have an interest in being a liaison for your state, please email info@snrs.org.
