The Cal-ESAR Board of Directors

A board of directors elected from the general membership guides the unit. They set the direction for the unit, develop the training schedule, set and measure development goals, and generally insure the smooth operation of the unit. Within the unit, there are several levels of membership status based on training and operational experience. These membership categories are designed to ensure that everyone operates within their capabilities while still getting the maximum possible responsibilities and avenues for growth.

Board Meeting Location
 Board meetings are the 4th Wednesday of every month at Our Lady of Angel's School (OLA) in Burlingame, CA. All members are welcome to all meetings. Check with a Board member for the agenda of an upcoming meeting, or to put an item on the agenda. OLA is at the corner of Hillside and Cabrillo, behind the Church. The meeting is usually in Room 6.
