The election for the 2011 Board of Directors is coming up. We need to elect our new Board before the December 2010 meeting. Anyone willing to hold one of the 5 Director positions please make yourself known on this thread prior to the November 13th meeting. We especially need someone to hold the Secretary/Treasurer position since Pat has indicated he is willing to hold another position.
Responsibilities of the Directors is to select and appoint the club officers and to be a watchdog over them to assure that the President, Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer run the club as you want. There are no required meetings to attend, and you can remain in the background if you wish. Because we are an incorporated club, we must have the board. If there aren't enough willing to serve on the board, the club will fold. Board members may also serve as club officers, but it's best to have different people in the two functions.
Everyone is eligible to hold a seat on the Board of Directors. You do not have to be a current member, however only paid members may vote to elect the Board of Directors.
You may cast your vote in person, or by mail or email, but your ballot must be received prior to Midnight, December 10th.
ELECTION-BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The By-Laws of the Georgia Fiero Club specify that the Board of Directors elect the Officers of the club, instead of the general membership electing those officers.
The 5 members of the Board of Directors are elected by the paid members in good standing. Those Board Members then elect the 4 Officers of the club. Those officers being Club President, Club Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. The Officers will then be installed at the first business meeting of the new year.
All persons are eligible to hold office in the Georgia Fiero Club. You do not have to be a paid member to be a candidate for office, however, if you are elected to office, you must then begin paying yearly dues.
If you wish to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, please submit your name prior to the November 13th business meeting. If you wish to be considered for a particular position, please indicate that position. Candidates names will be posted on the Georgia Fiero Message Board in this thread.
All paid members in good standing have the opportunity to participate in the voting for the election of the Board of Directors. This ballot must be returned to Pat Swayne, Club Secretary/Treasurer, before Midnight December 10th. All ballots will be counted at that time. This method will give all paid members the opportunity to cast a vote, even though they might not be able to attend the meeting. You may cast a total of 5 votes

Anyone else willing to be a candidate?
-
Linda Swayne will be a candidate.

I believe the lady that came with her husband to the last meeting said she'd be willing to hold a position, too. Trouble is, I don't know her name in order to vote for her. How about it, Pat? Got her name in the membership list?
I think Don's still willing to be a candidate so I'll put his name in, too.

The Board of Directors needs candidates to serve as President, Vice President and Sec/Tres. for 2011. We have to make our selection prior to the December business meeting/Christmas Party.
Gerald Thayer has said he will be a candidate
Who else?
-
I'll take VP, if no one else wants it. I don't know enough about the back roads to be President, and plan RFTH.
-
That's what other officers and members are for. Everything shouldn't be on the President's shoulders. I'm comfortable with laying out and arranging RFTH, so whoever is appointed President, if they want me to, just tell me what area you want to go. Same thing for cruises.
-
14So now all we need is a President.
I will attempt to be President if no body else wants it.
-
We resolved the board member thing at tonight's meeting/Christmas party. The members are:
Pat Swayne
Linda Swayne
Don Hulse
Kevin McFall
Charles Sewell
And the club officers for 2011 are:
President - Pat Swayne
Vice President - Charles Sewell
Sec/Treasurer - Gerald Thayer
