Our Board

The MESTA Board consists of an Executive Committee (made up of the President, President-Elect, Past President, Journal Editor, Membership Director, Recording Secretary, and Treasurer), a Governing Board (presiding over various positions within the organization), and Members-At-Large (appointed by the President).  Board members are listed in the table below.

We are always looking for new volunteers.  If you would like to fill an open position or inquire about how you can help us out, please contact our President (president@mestarocks.org).
