E mail my nominations to you

Paul

I got them Paul..


I spoke to a few and they have agreed I do the following..Let me know if anyone objects and if you object give me a better way to do it please..

I will print all emails and create a MRR binder of nominations. It will be available to the board to ensure I have kept the count correct.

I dont know of any other way to do it fair and keep it private..

two years is a long time, much can change so why dont you back it down to a year if your going to do it.

There you are Joe!!! Good point on the 2 year thing, I didn't notice that and I agree with you.

yea ive been laying low (been in orlando for a week or so so i'm trying to get caught up on whats going down) but I ve seen this disscussion come and go a few times now and i'm just waiting to see how this all plays out before I begin to throw my .02 in the mix.

I cant make that decision. Its in the current by-laws and the I think the board of directors would be the appropiate ones to vote on that. We can make a list of items the members want the board to look at during the first meeting.

Matt after the people get nominated you have to go back and ask them if they accept the nomination.

Paul,
I will.. I will get all the nominations together first and then make calls. I guess give this like 5 days.. Is that enough time or should we play it by ear and see how many we are missing?

Help me out guys.. I have never done this before.....

Matt how did you get nominated to do all this WORK YOU HAVE BEEN DOIN?

There's a sucker born every minute... isnt there.. Maybe i will get a cold one some day for it...



Thats a cold coke right......


Honestly, I really like the guys and gals I wheel with so its worth it.. Just like when your group saw Chris and us that day.. You guys came over and joined in on the fun.. Thats what it is all about...

So now that most of the members know what is going on it is probably time to remove the other thread to keep our matters in house?

Bill.. Thank you.. I have been hoping someone else would suggest that..


I second that statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gone...I saved the discussion and the thread in case any of the comments need to be revisited by the board of directors.

Well it seems I have missed something else..


Web Director

this is a appointed position...I would like to ask Nick if he would carry on with this position since he has the abilities and is in touch with Rich.


Thoughts, concerns??????

If the position needs to be shared I'm willing to help Nick with the web director position if needed.

come on pres, you got other duties to perform.

Are all of these positions "voting" positions?

All blue high lighted possitions are elected officials, the rest may be appointed, However, only the blue highlighted run the club as the Board of Directors. Board members may also hold a subsequent office that is vacant and wear two hats But only one vote can be casted or counted during a board voting process. But douoble check the By-Laws anyway.


As quoted from Tico. The ones i listed are the highlighted ones so I'd assume that those positions have voting power.

ok, i can finish my nominations then

Ok so Tico gets a vote and we have 7 board positions besides that? that would mean the odd number board members would not have a tie but with Tico vote it could be a tie. so then does it go by way of the founder then? Just trying to clarify. I though Tico was going to stay president and that was his vote.

No, I am just like everyone else. If I get voted in or not it’s up to the membership to decide what happen now. The power is with the members, not me. This way there is no favoring, or pre-conceived notions or ideas that I rule the nest no matter what is decided. Accountability to the elected board and the membership will be paramount. But I must admit that it will be hard after 5 years, but I am ready to let this club grown within its self. I've done all I can to bring this club to the present, now it’s the membership turn to decide who will lead based on their selection.

I (WE) need to sit down and write this out.....

Here is what I got out of talking to all of you.

A seven member board can not tie... If for some reason one member can not make it and there is a tie than Tico is the tie breaker.

Tico is stating he wants the board to be able to make the decisions than the above is how it can happen.

Tico is the founder not automatic President.. Tico has been nominated for President so if he accepts the nomination then the membership has to decide if they want him as President.



A member should not be able to hold TWO board positions. They can hold a board position and a appointed.. Only board members vote on decisions.. not appointed officials.
