    Hi,
    Robbie sent out the message below recruiting members for the Help! series. I just wanted to re-up the request. We would love to have newer members join this committee. I can send you more information about the responsibilities for the At-Large position (we have an assistant chair lined up). It isn't a terrible high level of work but it is a great opportunity to help shape the educational efforts of GODORT.

    Best, LK
