Right now the only roles that have been specified are those required by
NM law (President, Secretary, and Treasurer, I believe).  It's
reasonable to ask that nominees provide info on where their interests
lie, but the actual selection of trustees to fill those roles will be up
to the new trustees to hash out.

As an aside, I'm currently the Secretary, and were I to be elected as a
trustee I would probably request to retain that position, since I'm
already the person who is keeping all of our files at the moment.

It would be extremely helpful to have people running who have an
interest in accounting and taxes, since (a) we have a tax filing
deadline coming up, and (b) we now have money, so we probably should be
following some accounting rules.
