BOD News
|
The Board held a meeting on 17-FEB. Like the previous meeting it was held online. It was a newsworthy meeting. See below.
- Upcoming General Meetings were discussed and details worked out.
- Next year's meetings were considered too. It's time to make reservations, particularly if any are to be held at Cobblestone. They opened recently. Sites still TBD.
- Schuss/Shanty & Big Sky behind us; both successful. Alas each was affected by a single member each testing positive for Covid at departure.
- Terrace and Park City are ahead. Terrace has room, Park City is full. More cancellations than usual this year has kept Trip Leaders busy!
- New Western Trips coordinator, Jim Kelly is off to a fast start.
- The BOD made some changes to the Rewards program. Details are in this newsletter below.
This IS the trip planning season. Make sure J Kelly hears your ideas. |

A Declared Candidate for President!
|
Good news we have an announced candidate for President, Lisa Salisbury. |
|
|
As the Board's chosen candidate she is now a heavy favorite to win the election at the Annual Meeting on April 21. |
|
|
|
35-Day Rule
|
All candidates for President must declare to the BOD their intent to run by 17-MAR, 35 days before the election. This new rule was added a few years ago as a courtesy to declared candidates. The 35-day rule does not apply to Directors on the Board. They can be nominated all the way up to the day of the election. But, a committee has formed to receive nominations and run the election. You don't need to wait to the last minute to nominate. |

BOD Candidates
|
Five Six existing BOD members have offered to serve again. Four Five Six additional club members have put their names in the hat.
Existing: Lisa Salisbury, Greg Robertson, Lane Hotchkiss, Darlene Morin, Alan Osterdale, and Joe Knopp. New: Anne Gilbert, Susan Brown, Mike Timmerman, Todd Newman, and Vicki Watson. |
We need more candidates-- at least two!
Maybe... (see below) |
We may have a full slate and even more. Just before publication a slew of emails came in with more names and your editor hasn't had time to sort it out. But, don't let that stop you from joining the fun. |
|
|
Quorum
|
And, we need voters! At least 57, to achieve quorum at the Annual Meeting so that we can complete the first election in two years. Enough members, 57, have to attend the meeting. Put it on your calendar now, PLEASE! |
|
|
|
Interesting Note
|
|
|
Because the Annual Meeting got delayed twice all BOD slots are up for election at the same time. Normally the 2-year terms are staggered. There's a solution for that. The top 5 vote getters are assigned 2-year terms and the remaining candidates receive 1-year terms. It's in the Constitution. |

Another Look at Big Sky 2022
Lots of nice photography |
|
|
Carol Metty and Lane Hotchkiss led a trip to Big Sky last week. From pictures their group posted on Facebook it appears the snow was sufficient, but not special, though the skies were pretty damn good. Lone Peak wasn't socked in all week as can happen hence there are a lot of nice Lone Peak shots to share. |
