It is time to elect new Executive Committee (EC) members for the Newport Surfrider chapter. The EC is a group of volunteers responsible for running the Newport Surfrider chapter. It’s a fun and rewarding position that requires consistent efforts through a two-year term. The chapter is required to elect five standard roles (Chair, Vice Chair, Volunteer Coordinator, Treasurer, and Secretary) We usually have two additional at-large members. As volunteers, perfection is not expected, but dedication is important. EC members typically meet once a month to discuss chapter business and finances, along with engaging in regular communication via Surfrider officer email. Click here for more information.
