– Member -at-Large:
1. At
the meeting you will call for two volunteers to join you on the Nominating
Committee.
2. Your
committee will meet and determine the slate.
3. The
officers are: President, Secretary/Treasurer/Historian, and Member-at-Large.
Officers serve two-year terms.
4. You
will present the slate of officers to the membership at the October meeting.
5. After the slate is presented, I will send the
slate out (by email) to the membership and ask if there are any objections. *** If there are no objections, the slate
will meet with their counterpart to train and get notebooks before the January
meeting. The slate will be officially
voted on and installed at the January Annual Meeting and the new President
takes over then.
6. Members:
Please be prepared to volunteer to be on the Nominating Committee. Thank you!
7. Members:
Please be prepared to serve as an officer if asked.
Duties
are minimal, and the responsibilities are spelled out on a monthly calendar. The
club is designed to be low key.
· Everyone:
Do we want to increase our membership over twenty-one or are there current
members who wish to resign?
In the event that we have openings
due to resignations, give Geni Flowers Bouquet, Secretary, names of potential new members at the October,
November, and December meetings. Include a brief biographical paragraph.
1. I
will share the nominations and bios with the membership before the January
meeting.
2. You
are encouraged to invite potential new members to one or two meetings.
3. Let
the Secretary and President know who you will bring as a guest. Geni will
prepare a name tag for them.
4. All
potential new members will be put on a waiting list and voted on at the annual
meeting in January. The top “vote getters” will fill the open spots and the
others will remain on the waiting list.
