The Salina Area Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Council is seeking individuals to serve on
their council.

The mission of the Salina Military Affairs Council (MAC) is to plan, coordinate, and execute programs and activities that strengthen the relationship between Salina and the military members working, training, and living in the community.

The MAC is comprised of 20 members from the business and military communities who meet the third Tuesday of each month from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Member terms are two years in length.
Annual events include: the Armed Forces Day Golf Tournament, which raises money for the Salina Military Emergency Relief Fund and assists service members who reside within a 50 mile radius of Salina; the Wounded Veterans Poker Run, which raises money for the Gary Sinise Foundation and assists wounded veterans and first-responders (firefighters, police and EMTs); and the Commanders Club Dining Out, which brings together business, civic, retired and active military leaders at a formal event that includes a keynote speaker. Efforts are also underway to assist Chamber of Commerce staff to recruit separating military members to the community to fill-in demand civilian careers.

Individuals who are interested in serving on the MAC should complete and return the MAC Member/Volunteer Expression-of-Interest Form, which is available at the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, 120 W. Ash St., or online at www.salinakansas.org/salina-military-affairs-council.html.

The form includes a list of vacancies, and position and event descriptions. Individuals who are not interested in serving on the MAC, but would like to volunteer for particular activities, should also complete the Member/Volunteer Expression of Interest Form.
