BECOME THE ALBUQUERQUE CHAPTER LEADER!

NMSEA has an immediate opening for the volunteer position of Albuquerque 
chapter leader. This opportunity involves setting up and running chapter 
presentation meetings once a month at a set time and location (currently 
6:30pm on the 4th Tuesday each month at the REI Recreational Equipment 
store).  You would be responsible for contacting prospective speakers, 
coordinating with our media person for advertising, and setting up the 
room at REI and packing up after the event.   If you are organized and 
detail-oriented, have good people skills, and are interested in solar 
energy and sustainability, we are looking for you.  This position may 
require 5-10 hours a month (including the night of the meeting) 
depending on your connections and skills.  We will provide an organizing 
template, and speakers are already scheduled for May and June.  Please 
contact Deena Klein at dleeclean at yahoo.com <mailto:dleeclean at yahoo.com> 
and put "Chapter Leader" in the subject heading. This is a great chance 
for you to support NMSEA and to get to know the industry and community!
