2014 BOD Nominating Committee

lattehiatus

Past President
I'd like to introduce this year's nominating committee, who will be presenting their recommendations to the club membership for next year's Board of Director officers, per by-laws.
If you are interested in a leadership role within BAR, please make them aware by PM or posting here. Any member in good standing is eligible for nomination. Your level of experience within the hobby and club are secondary - first and foremost we want folks who are passionate about reefing and the club's mission statement!
 
Can't emphasize the no experience required part enough. If you like the club and want to make it stronger or do your part to help out now is the time! Don't worry about what position you'd be good at either, the club will find you one.
I nominate myself for DBTC champion, if that is going to be a role, and for something else nobody wants if not...

On another note I nominate Jim to be teacher of vp because we all know that the vp does a lot of work and he's done a great job for two years straight!!! Thanks again Jim.

Oh yeah, David did ok too I guess...

+1 on what Mike said!!

The details are in the bylaws, but I thought I should copy-paste the key section here:

The President shall call special meetings of the organization, committee meetings, BOD meetings, and any other meetings, which may be deemed necessary, but not the monthly general membership meetings. The President shall determine the location of such meetings.

The Treasurer shall pay any predetermined amounts as may have been authorized by the Board, and all bills presented to, and approved by majority vote at a Board of Directors meeting. The Treasurer shall prepare and submit all reports required by any governmental agency.
The Treasurer shall authorize new members and remove former members who are no longer eligible for membership.

BUMP!

In particular, if someone is interested in the Secretary position, please let us know!

Do you go to most of the meetings?
Pretty sure that and some enthusiasm are the only prerequisites.

The Nominating Committee has presented the following candidate slate for the elections at the November general meeting:

President - lattehiatus
Vice President - FeliciaLynn
Treasurer - mray2660
Sponsorship/Public Relations - goldielocke76
Secretary - magnetar68

Nominations are open through noon on Saturday when elections occur. Know someone far more competent than the bumbling president? Nominate that person or throw your hat in the ring! :D
 
The head of the nomination committee will be there shortly before the swap, not sure when the "elections" will occur.
If no one steps else wants to run, you can just say yeah the committee was there :D
 
Elections are at 12:00pm noon, before Shu's presentation.

Don't forget to thank the nomination committee team for their diligent candidates search!
