This website has many resources for you to use as you acclimate to your important governance role. We have provided links for a few of these resources to make it easier for you to navigate directly to the basic areas that relate to your new responsibilities.

Please ensure that your District Clerk has notified us of your contact information so that you can be added to our mailing list for On Board, our award-winning newspaper. You will also be added to our online distribution list, if your email has been provided.
