Hey Shooters!  Jim Knepper has been our webmaster for a number of years now, and has done an outstanding job.  He has given a lot to the chapter, but would like to transition out of the job.  We are seeking an assistant webmaster to work with him to ensure a smooth transition and to transfer some of his vast knowledge of the CNS communications environment to the webmaster for next year.

The successful candidate will work with Jimbo for the remainder of the year, and take over as webmaster for 2011 (pending primary officer and sponsor approval), and possibly before the end of the year.

If you are interested in being webmaster, please submit your name and qualifications to the primary officers as soon as possible.  We will be making an announcement at the chapter meeting in July on this position.  This is the same procedure as for all discretionary officer positions.

We look forward to hearing from you.
