If a board member resigns or cannot finish his or her term the board of directors must appoint a new board member who serves until the next annual election. The board can continue to the next annual election with less than seven members as long as the remaining number of board members is an odd number.
KARE also has non-voting board advisors that are elected by the board of directors.
The Kasson Alliance has set up an historic preservation information booth annually since 2007 at the Dodge County Fair. You are welcome to stop by and visit our booth in the Horticulture building.
