    Default Question About Length of CV/Manifesto

    A question about "rules that state how long our manifestos have to be for the GAGB Committee Elections" was asked.

    My reply to the sender was bounced by the sender's spam filter, so I will answer in here as well.

    "There is no set limit. Some people have written a few sentences, other, several paragraphs.

    Last year's manifestos are still posted in the GAGB forums if you want to see examples."

    How do you become nominated for the election? I would like to offer something back to the geocaching community other than placing hides and the odd article I have written for magazines and the towpath talk newspaper.

    Hi & thanks for showing an interest in joining the committee.

    You just need a fellow GAGB member (joined before 1st October) to nominate you, then another member to second that nomination. Then you need to accept it.

    Default A reminder to all candidates

    A reminder to candidates

    I know some of you have already done this and some may have in the last 24hrs (it is still the middle of the night in Alaska), but if you haven't please could you send your photo/avatar and CV/manifesto to Mike (LadyBug Kids) ASAP.

    The CVs/manifestos will be put into the forums once we have the final list of candidates and I would like to have these in place ASAP to run alongside the Q&A thread that I will open tomorrow evening/Friday morning.

    Also, as Mike has mentioned in his posts, he is travelling to Europe on business on Friday - so we have a very narrow window to get this done in (alongside all the normal pre-travel jobs at home!). I also don't want to have him spending his free time when he is away having to sort out GAGB things - especially when on airport/hotel wifi etc.

    Many thanks for your cooperation.

    Therefore JackieC and Cornell, I humbly accept your nomination and second.

    Let's do this thing.

    I updated Jen's latest post with the materials (CV, photo, avatar) I've received as of this morning (Wednesday, Alaska time) from the Committee Candidates. If you sent materials that aren't listed below, please resend them because I didn't find them in my junk and spam folders and sometimes things get lost in the electronic shuffle. If you haven't sent your materials, please do so soon so I can work on them during my long trip from 150°W to 14°E, which begins 1300 GMT Thursday. Chances are I won't be online again until late Friday night.

    Please e-mail the files to ladybugs@geocachealaska.org.

    Good luck to all the candidates!

    Biting one's tongue is often an bad as lashing out, having and sharing one's opinion moves things forward rather than stagnating. I am glad you have accepted, good luck!

    The nomination period closes at midnight today.

    The candidates Q&A thread will then be opened and the CVs/manifestos that have been received will also be posted.

    However, as Mike (LadybugKids) is currently on a plane heading east he has forwarded the eight CVs he has already received to me so that I can post these on his behalf.

    Therefore, please could the remaining candidates email their CVs/manifestos to me ( mapleleaf.geocaching@yahoo.co.uk ) as well as to LadyBugKids ( ladybugs@geocachealaska.org ) to ensure they are posted as soon as one of us is able to.

    Please include "GAGB Election Materials" on the subject line to help with Mike's e-mail sorting.
