Hey OYFA!
Interim elections are coming up next Sunday (11/8). If you are interested in any of the open positions, you should check out OYFA's constitution for more information about each position and election procedure: 
http://www.oyfaatuva.com/OYFA%20Constitution.pdf .

Also, it is also a good idea to talk to past officers of the position you are interested about their experiences serving on board/council. You can find OYFA's position archive here: 
http://www.oyfaatuva.com/positionarchive.php , as well as a list of current board/council members all on the website.
