We have two seats open on the board of directors this election cycle. Five great people have stepped up as candidates! Get to know them:

Why you want to be on the board at AMT?

Why you want to be on the board at AMT?
I want to help AMT keep growing and improving. I am very interested in the goal for a stronger community, which is part of why I would like to get more involved. My use of the word grow wasn’t meant as strictly membership acquisition. Diversity leads to a stronger community, and the goal to be fully staffed and to show more appreciation for the AMT leaders would greatly benefit from more socialization.
What are one or two things you would get done if you were elected?
I would like help organize a periodic social event for members and guests.

I’ve been an AMT member for about a year and I like the community and am interested in seeing AMT grow. Being on the board seems like a good way for me to be more involved in AMT’s community.
What are one or two things you would get done if you were elected?
I’m particularly interested in seeing AMT meet its goals for more diverse membership. I’d love to see that happen and to be a part of making it happen.
