Elections

Elections for the Board of Directors are held annually in the Fall. 5% of the members entitled to vote constitutes a quorum. At Rockwood Park Backyard Beekeepers, we encourage new members to join and bee active within the club. The Board of Directors and Officer positions are no exception. If you’re a new beekeeper or new RPBBA member, serving within the club is a great way to meet club members, gain a mentor (or several), and learn. Anyone with interest in serving is encouraged to let us know. We are always looking for volunteers, and not just for leadership positions.
