SPECIAL FORCES ASSOCIATION
Chapter 76 - South Florida
“The Green Berets”

Hello Members and Friends of the Association,
A message from Chris Wilkerson, President, Special Forces Association
Seasons Greetings,
I hope your Christmas was pleasant and your New Year starts with a positive light. I’m hoping the SFA has a productive and prosperous 2025. That said, I have a vacancy on the Board of Officers that I’d like to fill immediately.
As per the Constitution the Secretary keeps minutes for all Association meetings. He distributes these as prescribed by the president and appropriate regulations. He conducts official correspondence, signs official documents, maintains records so that they are available at any time to the President or Chapter representatives and performs such duties as the President may assign. He is responsible for accepting and depositing all monies for the Association, providing the Treasurer with deposit documentation (the elected officers may designate an individual other than the Secretary to accept and deposit funds). He assumes additional duties as the chairman of the Membership Committee and is responsible for ensuring continued growth in membership of the Association. He is the Chairman of the membership Committee and selects its members.
The caveat to the above is that the Secretary does not receive or deposit money, therefore does not need to necessarily be local to the Fayetteville area (this role has been filled by the Executive Director). Our Association depends on members to keep us thriving and relevant. Our Membership Committee needs to review the current application process, the fees, and the requirements for membership – all important and priority required updates.
If you are interested in being considered as filling the role of the Secretary of the SFA National Board of Officers, please submit your name along with a brief description of why you’d like to be considered, any background information that can assist you in this role, and any expectations you may have.
Deadline for your name submission is next Monday, 06January. We (the NBO) intends to review the applicants and vote on a decision prior to the NBO Meeting scheduled for 08January.
V/R
Chris Wilkerson
President, SFA NBO
Local Note: It is unclear between the two paragraphs whether the incoming Secretary would or would not be responsible for accepting/depositing funds.
