2008 Elections
|
Petition Deadline
for this Election Is September 6, 2007
Although the 2008 election is several months away, it is
time to start the election cycle. In 2008 we will elect four (4)
Directors-at-Large.
Roger Wurtzel from the Winnebagoland Division, one of the
four incumbent Directors-at-Large, will complete his second two-year term in
2008 and under the Bylaws will not be eligible to run for another term until
2009 or later. Our thanks to Roger for his dedicated service. Sean Lamb from
the South Central Wisconsin Division, Bob Lehnen from the Central Indiana
Division and Dave Poquette from the Wisconsin Southeastern Division will
complete their first two-year terms and will be eligible to run for another
term in 2008.
There are two ways that your name can be placed on the
ballot. The first is by recommendation of the Nominating Committee and approval
of the Board of Directors. To be considered by the Nominating Committee
(Chairman Jim Spice from the North Shore & Western Division and Members
Reid Kahrs from the Wisconsin Southeastern Division and Jim Osborn from the Fox
Valley Division), you must submit a biography/candidate’s statement of 200
words or less and a 2x2, passport-style photo to the Committee with a copy to
the Region Secretary (Bert Lattan) as soon as possible, but no later than
September 6, 2007.
The preferred method of delivery is electronic mail.
(While e-mail is not required to serve on the Board, it is highly desirable
since the Board conducts pre and post meeting activity by e-mail.) If you do
not have e-mail, you may mail your bio/photo to Bert Lattan, who will convert
it to an electronic format and send it to the Committee. Addresses and e-mail
addresses for the Committee and the Secretary are on the Board page of this
website.
The second method is by petition signed by at least ten
(10) current, resident NMRA members. You may use either the html version or the
pdf version of the petition. Your petition must be accompanied by a
biography/candidate’s statement of 200 words or less and a 2x2, passport-style
photo. It must be received by Bert Lattan no later than September 6, 2007. He
will convert it to an electronic format and forward it to the Committee.
The Committee will submit its recommendations and the
names of all resident members nominated by petition to the Board of Directors
for review and approval during its next meeting, which will be held on Sunday,
October 21, 2007 in Prospect Heights, Illinois at the Gary Morava Recreation
Center.
Each candidate’s biography/statement & photo and a
ballot will be included in the Winter 2007 issue of the Waybill. The
results of the election will be announced during the 2008 Annual Meeting of
Members. The meeting will be held during the 2008 Spring Convention, which is
scheduled for May 9-11 at the Best Western Grand Seasons Hotel and Conference
Center in Waupaca, Wisconsin.
If you have any questions about this process, please feel
free to contact any member of the Committee or the Secretary. —Jim Spice
