Call for nominations for MSA Board

The Mars Society Australia (MSA) is calling for nominations for directors. Directors are appointed for a initial term of two years and half the board is elected every year.

MSA is an organisation of like-minded people that provides educational and public outreach, engineering projects and scientific research related to the planet Mars.  You can read more about the MSA here:
