It's Board Election season!

Self nomination is now open - if you are interested in nominating yourself, you can do that using this form. 

Positions up for election this cycle (read about roles and responsibilities here):

  • Vice-President

    Communications

  • Operations

  • Membership

Process

This process will begin with a call for self nominations, members interested in running for a position will fill out the nomination form. Nominated members that are eligible for candidacy will be added to the election slate. The election slate must include a President, Vice-President, and Treasurer. Upon the completion of the self nomination period if one or more of the above listed positions has no nominated candidates a notice will be sent out to membership and the nomination form reopened for the span of a week. After that week, the final slate will be put together and announced to membership with candidate submitted bios for consideration. If an essential position does not have a candidate, the election will carry on and the board will appoint someone when the vacancy begins pursuant with the bylaws (Article V. Section 5.)

After the slate is presented to membership, there will be a three week period where the election form is open. Members may only vote for one candidate per position. At the commencement of the election period, votes will be tallied and the membership will be notified of the results.
