Hello GAGB Members:

The nomination period for the position of GAGB Chairman for 2014/2015 is now open.


All GAGB members who joined before 1st October 2014, are eligible to nominate another member or second a nomination.Members who have been nominated and seconded are asked to accept or decline their nomination in this thread.

This thread will be locked at the end of the nominations period and anyone who has not been seconded and accepted during this period will not be considered as a candidate for election.

Nominations for Chairman open: Saturday, 18th October 2014
Close of nominations for Chairman: Friday, 24th October 2014
Election for Chairman: Saturday through Thursday, 1st through 6th November 2014

Candidates for the Chairman position are requested to send their manifesto, photo (passport style) and geocaching avatar (if they have one) to me, Michael Malvick (Ladybug Kids), GAGB Independent Returning Officer (ladybugs@geocachealaska.org) by midnight, Saturday, 25 October 2014.

After the nomination period has closed nominee manifestos, photos, and avatars will be posted in a locked ‘Candidates for 2014/2015 Chairman Elections’ thread as well as on the ballot so you may read about why each candidate is standing for election and the skills they would bring to the Committee if elected.

A ‘Chairman Candidates (2014/2015) - Q&A’ thread will be opened around the same time.

More information about the annual elections can be found in the GAGB Constitution (Section N) and Seeker issue 22 (and the forthcoming issue 23).

In the meantime, it is absolutely critical that you work with your internet service provider (ISP) to white list e-mails coming from the gagb.org.uk, geocachealaska.org and surveymonkey.com domains so you receive election news and ballots.

At your service,

Michael Malvick/Ladybug Kids
