Bylaws Review Postponed
After discussion at the May Community Meeting, the review of the bylaws will be delayed until at least November. Look for more updates in the future.

Open Board Positions and Nominating Committee
The FOKP Board currently has three open positions. We will be holding elections for these positions in October. To fill these board positions we will be electing a Nominating Committee, of at least three members, at the June Community Meeting. The Nominating Committee will then make nominations for the Board of Directors. If you are interested in being on the nominating committee please attend this meeting. The Nominating Committee will be elected by current members of FOKP. To be a current member, you must have paid your dues for the year. If you have any questions regarding this process, please reach out by email to fokpcvic@gmail.com
