Example: One member to submit an article for the Oct. issue, another member to submit an article for the April issue, and another member to submit an article for the July issue. With a different person submitting an article for the issues, this could be an efficient way to obtain articles and not add too much burden to one person. Example: If each BOD member (not counting the President – because the President needs to submit the “President’s Message” every issue) would sign-up for one of the issues – this covers a 4-year period (3 issues/year x 12 writers = 4 years of articles).
