As reported by Maple Leaf/Jen Harley who covered for me while I was in an all afternoon work meeting, nine candidates are standing for the eight available Committee places, which means there will be an election.
Candidates are requested to e-mail their manifestos, avatars, and passport-like photo to me at ladybugs at geocachealaska dot org no later than midnight Tuesday, 10 November. I will post the information in a locked "Candidates for 2015/2016 Committee Elections" thread and on the ballot so members may read about why each candidate is standing for election and the skills they would bring to the Committee if elected.
A "Committee Candidates (2015/2016) - Q&A" thread will be open during the week leading up to the election where Members may ask the Candidates about their GAGB goals.
The Election for the Committee will be held during Tuesday-Sunday, 17-22, November 2015.
