Nomination Time for Eden Officers! Need your input by December 1, 2007

It is almost the end of the year, and that means that it is time to elect new club officers for next year. The nomination and election process will work as follows:

If you wish to nominate someone for an office there are two options:

1) Reply to this thread with the person’s name and the position that you are nominating the person for. (Please make sure that the person you nominate is interested in the position before nominating them on this site.) The offices are: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, membership, and member-at-large (there are two officer member-at-large positions).
2) Email your nomination to: BobBoydfl@gmail.com.

Self-nominations are good and we love it when someone is interested enough to volunteer their services.

Nominations need to be in by December 1.

Alyie, Jean, Sara, Suzanne, and I are the official Nominations Committee. When nominations close on December 1, we will call all the nominees to inform them “you have been nominated by the people in Edenland for the office of ________!” The person then may either accept or decline the nomination. If a position has no nominees, the Nominations Committee will think of people qualified for the position, and request they take it.

Once we have a list of people willing to run for office, we will post another thread for votes. You will vote by email and will get a reply to confirm it was received (BobBoydFL@gmail.com). Voting will begin on December 7 and needs to be completed by December 15.

For your consideration as you nominate, and later vote for, officers.

1. President - to preside over meetings, represent this association in the RRCA, to call any special meetings, and to appoint committees and chairpersons thereof.

2. Vice-President - to assume the responsibilities of the president in his/her absence, and to take on special assignments as requested by the president.

3. Secretary - to record minutes at meetings, to keep a file of such minutes, and, when requested by the president, to accept assignments involving correspondence and the keeping of records.

4. Treasurer - to administer all financial dues and to have authority to sign or disburse necessary appropriations, as directed.

5. Membership Director - to manage all issues related to recruitment of new members and the maintenance of the current membership base.

6. At Large Members (2) - no specific duties although they do have access to all Officer correspondence and are asked to keep abreast of ongoing club matters.

Don’t be surprised if you see this same text in an email – we just wanted to make sure everyone in our club gets the opportunity to participate.

for president....

Nomination question

Do any of the current Officers NOT want to continue in their present role?

This information would be helpful for the nomination process.

Thanks KJ

Re: Nomination question

It has been an honor to serve as President of this most excellent club, but it is time for me to step aside.

How about

5 members of the club who are still in High School running for the open officer's positions? Just let it be known to them that they'll always have an adult as a "go to person" if needed -- such as past officers. It'd be a great way to learn how to govern in a democratic environment without having to worry about mucking anything up.

Secretary

I nominate Alyie for secretary.

awww

you're sweet. I'd love to be secretary! Not sure if I can type as fast as Matt though. Does he not want to be secretary any more?

I think

Matt would be happy to pass the baton. :)

I second that!

I can't think of a better nominee for secretary than Aylie :)

P.S. Matt can type fast!!!!

I'd like to nominate

Ginger for VP and Shannon for Membership.

Thank you, Tim

you made my day. I know I would have strengths and weaknesses as VP. I'm a great cheerleader, I just don't know about the business side of things. I would have to talk to Frank and find out the details. How about Judson and I work as CO-VP's?

I'd like to nominate

John and Bonnie to continue on a treasurer..

I'd like to nominate

Judson Cake as CO-Vice President.

VP

I just talked to Judson. We're both willing to share the position.

Membership

Hey Tim. I wanted to re-nominate you for membership, but when you nominate someone else for your possition it is a pretty good sign that you are not interested. Am I right?

Here is my story...

Mike B was the elected Membership Officer for 2007. I was given the nod as an Officer At Large and when Mike B headed south (geographically, that is) he and I swapped positions.

I am capable of managing the membership database, and willing to do so. I do, however, feel like I have not been able to give as much of my energy to cultivating a strong membership as I believe an officer in this position should (work, life, blah blah blah).

In summary: I'm willing, Shannon is a rock star with the people (in my estimation), and choice is always good.

So I nominate

Tim for memebership and second Tim's nomination of Shannon. I look forward to a good, clean, publically financed race. Anyone else?

I nominate

Tom K for a member at large. He already acts like one, just without the title.

large

Shannon did you come up with the "at large " thing after talking to Ginger !
she saw a race photo of me from the Hancock 10 miler at about 130 lbs. in 1984/85
and then the one from Cabot Trail at 160 lbs. and still growing this year
First it was Karen and now you too !
what a weekend
And only Ginger to defend me Oh Ginger I hope your mother did not see your van at my house last night !!! Next time park out back

"Tom at Large"

Is that the title of a bad sitcom?

for all you guys who have been nominated

the Nominations Committee needs your confirmation that you've accepted the nominations. You can either reply here or email Bob or I (my email is stikitoad@hotmail.com)

I'll put together a list soon of who's been nominated for what and stuff.

merci beaucoup.

I second

the nomination for Tom Kirby for Member at Large.

Information from the Nominations Committee: Current Nominations

Okay, guys, I've compiled the following from this thread and emails. If there is a (?) by your name it means that you've been nominated for that position, and the Nominations Committee needs to know if you wish to accept it. Reply here or email Bob or I (my email is stikitoad@hotmail.com)

There is a week left in which you may still nominate a club member for an officer's position.

President - Frank

Vice President – Ginger & Judson as co-VPs, Shannon (?)

Secretary – me

Treasurer – John & Bonnie as co-treasurers

Membership – Shannon (?), Bob (?), Tim

Members At Large (2) – Tom K (?), Karen

Well let's see

Looks like I've been put up against a tough duo for veep. But seeing how I run for three fairly often, I'm sure I can easily pull off the work of two. : ) Sure, I'll accept. I'll pull out of the membership race since they've already got a couple great choices there.

Okay ---- updated

Ginger and Judson, you've got competition.

President - Frank

Vice President – Ginger & Judson as co-VPs, Shannon

Secretary – me

Treasurer – John & Bonnie as co-treasurers

Wow that looks like a great slate!

Tom I hope you accept the at large post. I did not mean to insult you by saying it sounded like the title of a sitcom. I love sitcom.

Sara

VP

I talked to Frank about the VP position. I think it would be too much of a commitment. I'd like to continue being a Member At Large. I nominate Judson for VP.
