Hello GAGB Members:

The nomination period for the position of GAGB Chair for 2017/2018 is now open. Nominations will be accepted from Monday 23rd October through to Thursday, 26th October 2017.

All GAGB members who joined before 1st October 2017, 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 Chair will be held during Friday 3rd
November to Monday 6th November 2017.

Candidates for the Chair position are requested to send their manifesto, photo (passport style), and geocaching avatar (if they have one) to Michael Malvick (Ladybug Kids), GAGB Independent Returning Officer (
ladybugs@geocachealaska.org), by midnight, Friday, 27th October 2017.

After the nomination period has closed nominee manifestos, photos, and avatars will be posted in a locked ‘Candidates for 2017/2018 Chair 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 ‘Chair Candidates (2017/2018) - Q&A’ thread will be opened 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)
