Board and Committees

Each year, a SNAP Nominating Committee is formed for the purpose of identifying interested and qualified candidates for the SNAP Board. The Chairperson, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are elected positions. The election is held during the Annual Meeting of SNAP members.

The Committee Chairs and the Members at Large are appointed positions. Both elected and appointed position serve for a term of one year. The Board typically meets the first Tuesday of each month at Mudville Grill beginning a 6 pm.
