OK, just as a refresher from the By-Laws

Elections of officers and Board of Directors shall be held on the LOST ROCKIES Board in an open ballot forum. Nominations will be accepted online. A Majority of membership votes will be the rule for all matters. All voting posts will be open for a period of seven (7) days. All officer nominations will be posted in the last full week (Sunday-Saturday) of September. The Elections will be held online in a separate post throughout the first full week (Sunday-Saturday) of October. If a member chooses to decline their nomination, they can do so at anytime prior to the election post opening with a simple post stating “I wish to decline my nomination for the office of…”

Start thinking of who you would like to nominate for what. Current officers can be nominated again for the same or different positions, and can decline still as well. If you want to hold a position, you can nominate yourself.

OK, last full week of September is 24-30 September.
You all have a week and a half to think about if you want to nominate yourself for a position, or who you would like to nominate.

If you would like a copy of the By-laws so you can review responsibilities, PM me with your Address.

Joel, can moderators make sticky threads? If so, can we make the nomination and election threads temporary stickies when the time comes?

The current officers have only been in office since May (I think). It seems that an election at this time is unnecessary unless someone is wanting to give up a position or the bylaws require it.

If the bylaws require it, then I vote/support that the current office holders retain their current offices for another year.

Phil,

I respectfully disagree with you there.

I do agree that the current officers should remain where they are as they are doing a great job, but they were appointed by a select few without any significant input from most of the lost Rockies members. We need to do things as officially as possible to fully legitemize our organization. To do this we need to start out on the right foot and allow all members to have a vote.

Regardless of whether all the current interm officers keep their positions (I hope they do) we should vote on this as a group if for no other reason than to start out on the right foot...so to speak.

If you are not a paid member, then you can get in touch with the current treasurer to arrange dues payment to be considered eligible and to get your voting priviledges. Remember this is YOUR club, lets all take an active role in its growth!!

Also, for ease of nominations, I will transfer the nominations in this thread to the appropriate nom thread.

I know this a moot point but if the current officers want to keep there current positions for another year I'm for it.I think this will be the best way until our section grows and gets more regular attending members.I know life happens,I can't even make every run but it seems like only a few are always showing up,just my thoughts and I'll shut up now.

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Mon Oct 02, 2006 7:48 pm

So no one wants to nominate any one new?

Do any current officers have objections to their current office?

Well, does the voting membership choose to elect the current protemp officers into office for the Year?

tjkj2002 · **Posted:** Tue Oct 03, 2006 7:01 pm

I'll vote for the current officers to keep there postions for another year.

Kugellager · **Posted:** Sun Oct 08, 2006 9:22 pm

I'll vote to keep all the current leaders in their positions as well...assuming they still want them.
