Qualified candidates should be able to give 10 – 20 hours a month to help APCUG
continue to help and support user groups. You are prohibited from running for
both Boards at the same time, and current bylaws prohibit two members from the
same user group serving on either APCUG Board at the same time (note this does
not prevent a person from one group being on the Board of Directors at the same time
as another member from the same group being on the Board of Advisors; you just
can't have two members from one group being on the Board of Directors at the same time
or two members from one group being on the Board of Advisors at the same time).
