NEW - Meet the Council
Often times, the connection SLB members have to the organization is limited to attending the annual meeting or voting for Councilors and Presidents. In an effort to make this connection better and more interesting, the website committe thought that getting to know the people we vote for, will give us all a glimplse to the way they promote SLB. We hope that by articulating their thoughts and highlighting their connection to SLB, we can all be inspired, so that each of us can contribute a little more and become more involved in SLB activities.
