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

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

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