Nominations for Committee Members 2014/2015

[LadybugKids]

Hello GAGB Members:

Nominations for GAGB Committee for 2014/2015 will be accepted Saturday-Friday, 8-14 November 2014.

All GAGB members who joined before 1 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 closed 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.

The Election for the Committee will be held during Sat-Fri, 22-28, November 2014

Candidates for the Committee are requested to send their manifesto, photo (passport style, I can crop the photo for you if you need help) and geocaching avatar (if they have one) to me, Michael Malvick (Ladybug Kids), GAGB Independent Returning Officer (ladybugs@geocachealaska.org) by midnight, Saturday, 15 November 2014.

After the nomination period has closed, nominee manifestos, photos, and avatars will be posted in a locked ‘Candidates for 2014/2015 Committee 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 ‘Committee Candidates (2014/2015) - Q&A’ thread will be open during the week leading up to the election where Members may ask the Candidates about their GAGB goals.

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 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
GAGB Returning Officer

P. S. This thread will be reopened on 8 November when the nominating period begins.
