As the outgoing President, Greg's position is automatic.

So far, we have 11 candidates for 10 BOD slots. Banner year!

Lisa Salisbury has declared her candidacy for President.

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.

Put it on your calendar now, PLEASE!

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 until the last minute to nominate.

Nominating Committee

Lance Burghardt
Kathy Homiak
Nancy Marcotte
Greg Robertson
Janet Starr

Greg is the chair.

Cool Communication Committee News

Jeff Crawford has agreed to join the club's Communication Committee. He comes with considerable technology and website experience.

Initially Jeff will study POS (Point of Sale) and online payment systems to build a report for the BOD on options, cost-benefit relationships, and a measure of the effort entailed.

He'll do this while also studying our Communications platform, Wild Apricot. Our website, newsletter, and events calendar are built and maintained on this platform.

Also, our contacts and membership database, and certain financial records (membership renewal.)

In time look for Jeff to assume some of our more routine communication tasks and an injection of new ideas. And, he'll probably implement that POS, if directed by the Board.

Send Jeff a Welcome Aboard!

Jeff Crawford, new member of the Communications Committee
