2018 MGS Board of Directors

[littleblkdog]

Thank you to the 2017 Directors for serving on the Board this past year. Your contributions to the MGS were much appreciated. MGS can't run as an organization without its members volunteering to give back to this great Society.

Congratulations to the following MGS members and former officers who have been selected as Directors for 2018:
