Call for Officer Nominations for Council 2439

Call for Officer Nominations for Council 2439

June 9, 2021 Posted by kofc2439admin Public

Brothers,

Our fiscal year starts in July, and every 2 years we elect new officers for the council.  We are looking for Knights young and old who are interested in serving for the 2021 – 2022 fiscal years, starting this July.  Being an officer is a rewarding position.  As an officer you will strengthen your connection to our community and fellow Knights, and also grow in your faith.

We need good men like you to lead our council!  Being an officer does not require prior leadership experience.  Anyone in the council, regardless of your age, time in the council, or length of time as a Knight, can be an officer.  If you are interesting in being an officer or would like to nominate someone for an officer position, please email me or call.

Here is a recap of all the council officer positions:
