Booster Board Officer elections JAN 2025. We would love to have anyone interested in joining the Booster Board join us to elect new board members/co-positions. We are open to having “co-positions” where a position can be filled by two individuals to help share responsibilities. All of the current board position holders are “graduating out” and will need to be replaced.

Board Positions

President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary

Additionally several essential committee chairs and volunteer positions currently held by parents of seniors will need to be transitioned to new volunteers:

Webmaster – responsible for updating/maintaining the smhsbandboosters.com WordPress website
Publicity/Communications – responsible for updating/maintaining the SMHS Booster Facebook and other social media sites, as well as sending out weekly booster information emails to parents.
SUG (SignUp Genius) – responsible for creating and managing our SignUp Genius signups for various events
