Where r the fields and finance ctees??
They don’t want others input or views on these ctees
They have to find applicants to take the blame……………
Fields Committee is an open public meeting anyone can attend.
Recently retired, am healthy, have plenty of time to spend, have significant art and business experience, and this is the very LAST thing I would want to do. Seems from all I have read that even these volunteer positions will be overly political, and who needs it? And, you need to fill out a ” Citizen Volunteer Leadership form”. Bureaucratic from the get-go.
not the case at all.
