**Board served all calendar year 2022 and first half of calendar year 2023 as part of the transition to affiliation with the Division of Advancement as approved in March 2022. Moved from calendar year to fiscal year.
***Pat Wentz had to resign from the Secretary position so as not to jeopardize her retirement per state statute pertaining to volunteering after retirement; minutes/meeting notes prepared by various members of the Board
****Transition to affiliation with the Division of Advancement resulted in financial aspects being handled by the Advancement Representative and so the Treasurer position was no longer needed.
