Hello fellow club members,<br>
It is once again time for electing officers for
the new year. At our Shreveport meeting, we opened nominations and the
following were nominated:<br>
President - Scott, W5WZ<br>
Vice Pres - Bobby, WM5H<br>
Sec/Treas - Mark, K5ER<br>
Director - Jim, W5LA<br>
Director - Ted, KN5O<br><br>
Verbal instructions were given at the meeting
and minutes of the August meeting were posted on Aug 12, directing
members to a clickable link on the club's web site for members to
nominate any additional members to stand for election. Although we left
the nomination window open for a longer than usual length of time, we
still have not received any additional nominees, or heard from anyone
expressing an interest in an officer's position. <br><br>
Typically about 10-12 days prior to our voting
meeting, we have our web-master to change the link from
"nominations" to a list those nominated, to allow voting. The
"standard" procedure is to allow a window for voting online,
and those results are tallied and brought to the last club meeting of the
year (Alexandria) where they are combined with live votes at the meeting.
Unfortunately, I was out sick about the time to make the web-site
change-over, but I'm not sure it would have made a difference. <br><br>
Article 2, Section 3 of our Constitution states,
"<font size=2>Nominations may also be made known to the President
through email, postal mail, telephone, or other means of
communications</font><font face="Verdana" size=2><b> prior to the
Election meeting</b>."</font> Currently we have only one valid
nominee for each position, and have received no further nominations. With
only 3 days until the meeting, unless any other nominations are received
by email to "nominations@louisianacontestclub.org", there will
only be those listed above to be voted on. <br><br>
Our Constitution also states,
"<font face="Verdana" size=2>The officers of this club shall be
elected by receiving the most votes, represented in person or by email
representation, at the (Fourth Quarter) election meeting." So, even
with no more nominations, there must be a vote selecting from the list of
those nominated.<br><br>
Therefore, those NOT planning on attending this
weekend's meeting may place their vote to select the nominees listed
above by sending an email to ballots@louisianacontestclub.org . Those
planning to attend may vote in person. At the time of this email, I do
not have a schedule showing our meeting time. I will contact the sponsor
and send another email as soon as I find out. Look forward to seeing you
there.<br><br>
Travel safe and 73,<br>
Mark, K5ER<br>
Sec/Treas, LCC</font><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
