Association of Lesbian Professionals in Asheville, NC

ALPs has an all-volunteer Board which serves a 12 month term, beginning in June. A one year active membership in ALPS is a preferred for Board membership but not absolutely necessary. What is required is a commitment to the organization to help the organization meet its mission statement and to have FUN while doing it. The one year active membership assures a familiarity with the workings of the organization and more consistent adherence to the priorities of the membership. The ALPs Board consists of: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Newsletter Editor, Membership Coordinator and Website Manger.
