As a fledgling organization, the Rural Green Caucus does not yet have any officers. We would like to have the potential members of the Caucus think seriously about whether they have the time and inclination to fulfill any of these duties. In the near future, we will place an entry on this BLOG so that members may volunteer for those official roles as "interim officers." The designation of "interim" will allow us to have some structure until the actual leadership can be elected accoring to the bylaws.
