NGLS: Board Member Election Redo
On Saturday, January 9, 2021 the club voted to fill the three board member positions for the 2021 season. Out of the candidates two, Calvin Abernathy and Bob Cummings, had received enough votes to fill two of three positions with the third position ending in a tie between Joe Fabregas and Susan Wizner. During the meeting, a second vote was taken to fill the third position only and it also ended in a tie. It was then decided to provide an opportunity for the club to vote for a third time which would provide an opportunity for all Full members a chance to vote electronically.
Upon further review it has been decided that we are out of order regarding the accepts of the nominees voted on during the December meeting because in the new adopted bylaws, voted on during our October 2020 meeting, we no longer allow spouses who are both members on the board at the same time. We also did not follow the new bylaws correctly when we did the revote during our Saturday meeting when a tie is involved. Under the new bylaws all ties are settled with a coin flip.
In accordance with the new bylaws and Robert Rules of Order the board has decided that we need to revote on the individuals that have been put forward during the December meeting, minus Susan Wizner, for the board member positions.
So how is all of this going to happen. The first step is included in this email and that is as a Full member as of our December 3, 2020 meeting you will vote Yes or No on accepting the nominees. A separate email will follow once voting closes on accepting the nominees. At that time, you will then select up to three people for the board position. Voting will be provided electronically and will complete during our February meeting for those who did not vote electronically. At the time of voting during our February member you must have been a full member in good standing prior to the January 9, 2021 meeting to vote.
If you have any questions, please forward them to Peter Craymer or Robby Mossman.
In addition to the voting for board positions it was also decided that the membership will vote on what we should do with ticket prices for the 2021 season. As a full member you will select one of the following options:
$2 - keep ticket prices the same.
$3 - raise ticket prices.
