BOARD ELECTION INFORMATION

The Board of Directors will hold an election for two board members in November, with terms starting in 2027. The Nomination Committee would like to extend to you an invitation to run for the Michigan Antique Arms Collectors Board of Directors. This honor comes with great responsibility. You could help shape your club's future. Directors are required to attend board meetings and serve on different committees that they volunteer for. It is a great way to get to know other collectors; most of the board meetings are held before our show on Sunday. As a reward for your help, you do get some perks and a free table at our shows.
