Member-at-Large

If you have reviewed the available positions and don't see a position that is a fit for you but still want to get involved in some way, please consider submitting your name as a Member-at-Large, which can be described as members that want to get involved with SPMHA but cannot necessarily commit the time required to attend all Board Meetings and/or meet a defined job description.  Rather these volunteers will be called on when needed to serve on committees, association events, etc.  It's a great  way to get involved without the full commitment of a board position.
