It’s time to start thinking about the election of Board members from the Wicked Running Club for 2010! As many of you know, the nomination period started this week and will continue for the next two weeks. After that, people who have been nominated to a position are encouraged to give a nomination statement at the General Membership Meeting on Monday November, 2nd 2009 at the Salem Senior Center. Elections will take place during December. Below is the email that Vice President Doug Bollen sent out on Tuesday. If you have any questions about the nomination committee or nomination period please email Doug at dougbollen12@yahoo.com.
From Doug Bollen
As Vice President I am responsible for organizing and overseeing the election process for the upcoming year. I am forming a Sub Committee to help the nomination/election process. The Committee will be made up of 2-4 members from the Club. People on the committee can not nominate themselves, but can have other members outside of the committee nominate them , otherwise if you are not on committee you can nominate yourself.
You will have two weeks to be nominated and then we will be having a membership/board meeting on Monday, November 2. where you can speak or present a letter regarding your intentions/campaign etc. on why you want to be on the board.
The election will take place in December. I do anticipate some of the current board members not seeking re-election and hope to see some new people running for a position. I personally am stepping down after five years on the board, but intent on remaining very active. The club has grown to over 200 members and needs an active board to keep all the programs strong.
Please contact me if you would like to be on the nomination committee.
