All,

It is that time again to elect new members to our Board of Director's. Currently we have 3 empty Member's at Large positions open that we need to fill.

Please keep this thread to nominations, seconds, and acceptance of nominations only. I will validate all nominee's meet the criteria as stated in the bylaws. If you have any questions that are not answered in this post please PM me or contact any member of the Board.

Positions for Election:
Member At Large1 - Empty
Member At Large2 - Empty
Member At Large3 - Empty

Bylaws

VI.11.f. MEMBERS-AT-LARGE - The duty of the Members-At-Large is to assist the other board members in fulfillment of their duties as needed or serve as a replacement for vacancies or temporary absences in the four named board positions. Members-At-Large are also responsible for representing the interests of the member population during board discussions and voting decisions and also will be required to fill one of the appointed positions which follow.

VI.3. To stand for election, a person must be a Member in good standing, over the age of 18, who has attended at least two Society meetings in the previous twelve calendar months.
VI.4. Nominati
ons for officers shall take place the first two weeks of June in election years. The Webmaster and Membership Chair will assist in determining eligibility of the nominated persons to run for office. Elections shall take place on the Society website during the third week of June. The Webmaster is responsible for administering the election process. The newly elected officers shall assume office on July 1st of each year in with the new fiscal calendar.
VI.5. The terms of office for Board members shall not exceed two consecutive three-year terms in the same office for officer positions; Member at large positions will be two years in length with no term limits, this length is to allow for board continuity rather than having constantly switching members who must consistently relearn the duties and expectations of the position and also to allow for long term goals of the club.
VI.5.a
The following positions will be up for elections starting in 2012 followed with new elections every 3 years: Vice-President, Secretary. In 2013 the following positions will be up for election in 2013 followed by new elections every 3 years: President, Treasurer. Two Member at large positions will be elected in 2013 for two year terms and the remaining two positions will be up for election in 2014 and will consist of the most recently filled member at large positions as of the approval of these bylaws.
Nominations will be received through June 16.

Well I will break the Ice and make my nominations -

I nominate Dane aka FishTV - I think Dane would make a great addition to the BOD as he has always been more than willing to pitch in and volunteer each and every time the BOD has requested volunteers for something. In fact I don't think there is one event since he has joined that he hasn't donated his his time and energy to help out. I also appreciate his willingness to help out in the community when someone is under duress as he usually chimes in and helps out if he is able.

I also would like to nominate Scott aka Munch - Scott has been doing a great job IMO in creating things to help the group come together more in challenging them to engage in things like grow out competitions, ideas on how to create a coral bank for tank crashes, brain storming DIY ideas and exposing the group to new products and ideas with in the hobby.

I got an idea for a nomination. You! ;)

I would like to nominate Angel aka SynDen for the BOD. I've seen several helpful posts offered up to new hobbyists from Angel since he joined the site last year. I know he must read and participate in other threads...but seriously...it's like he reviews the new posts to see who needs help solving a problem or IDing a fish/coral/disease/critter in their tank. His help at ReefEd this year was also greatly appreciated.

Oh yea...he also has good taste in cars. :p

Gee, thanks! Just remember paybacks are a bi**. So on that note, I'd like to 2nd, or 3rd or whatever it's upto, SynDen for BOD as well :)

And to make it official, I accept my nominations! Thanks guys, I appreciate the fact you guys might find me helpful with the club. Do I need a campaign slogan? "Read my lips, no new algae?" Either way, I look forward to continuing to help, either in an official capacity thru the board, or just being a member of the club! I know we're in good hands, and I hope I can help continue to grow the club (and my corals) :)

Thank you for the kind words, nomination accepted. On the BOD, or otherwise, always glad to help where I can. We have a great club, and close knit community that I'm proud to be a part of.

Just a reminder that there is still time to nominate folks you feel would make great additions to the Board of Directors. Also just as a reminder, this nomination period will end at midnight on Monday (June 16th).
