#Tips for Completing This Form:

Please select all committees and roles you are interested in. This form is simply used to gather your areas of interest—selecting a committee or position does not guarantee placement. Most roles listed are appointed by the BCMG President, unless noted differently. If you are interested in serving as a committee coordinator, and would also be willing to serve as a member if not selected for the coordinator role, please be sure to check both options.
Even if you have submitted your interest in previous years, please do not assume the incoming President is aware of it. Be sure to indicate ALL committees and roles you are currently interested in—including any positions you currently hold and wish to continue.
