CBA Officer Elections - December 09 Membership Meeting

    Have you ever thought of holding an officer position with the Cascade Blues Association’s Board of Directors? To be able to make decisions on how the organization will oversee their role in the Blues community and helping to promote, support and preserve our local music? Well here’s your chance. Every December, the five officer positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Membership Secretary) are open for any member who wishes to bid to fill these roles. Voting is open to all members at the December General Membership meeting, to be held at The Melody Ballroom (615 SE Alder St) on Wednesday, December 2nd.

    Here’s what you need to do if interested. If you would like to place a short bio about yourself in the BluesNotes, including your reasons why you feel you would make the ideal officer, please submit these in writing no later than November 15th. If you are unable to submit a message for the BluesNotes, you can still run for office. Just make sure that you submit your written intent to run no later than November 30th to be placed on the ballot. Either way, you may send these by snail mail to Cascade Blues Association, PO Box 14493, Portland, OR 97293, by e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or hand a copy over to any CBA Board member

    If you’re not interested in holding down one of the elected positions, but would still like to be on the Board of Directors, you can request to be considered for an At-Large Member position at any time by submitting a written request and attending the open Board Meeting of any particular month. At-Large positions run until July every year. We are also interested in hearing from anybody who may be willing to volunteer for numerous events throughout the year. Grant writers and people capable of raising funds for our organization are always a plus. We can always use the extra hands.
