It's Time to Vote!

[jefftytoo]

Fellow SC members,

The 2017 SubCommittee Elections are officially here for our 2018-and-beyond officers—the e-polls are now open and it's time to vote!

As covered in the brand new issue (#111) of the SCR (and as I will also post elsewhere on our forum as well), it's time to exercise your voting rights and elect your new e-board representatives in the President, Vice President/Secretary and Treasurer positions. Remember, these officers will hold office for a three-year term, beginning January 1, 2018.

Here's a quick reminder of the roles of the officers:

President: the Chairperson of the Executive Committee and the executive for the administration of The SubCommittee, subject to the direction of the Executive Committee.

Vice President: responsible for keeping the records of The SubCommittee, including the Policies and Procedures Manual (PPM). If necessary, the Vice President/Secretary may act as the President of The SubCommittee if the President is unable to perform said duty.

Treasurer: in charge and custody of all of the funds of The SubCommittee, as directed by the Executive Committee and the PPM. The Treasurer shall establish and follow good accounting and expenditure controls and shall make full disclosure of all financial dealings of/to The SubCommittee.

The following SubCommittee members have been nominated for office:

President
• Bob Martin
• Sam Reichart

Vice President
• Tom Chalfant
• Chad Divine

Treasurer
• Jim Butt

These candidates have responded to a series of questions posted on the SubCommittee forum. Their answers can help you to make your choices; please take a moment to check them out.

Election Ballot

The election is being held via electronic ballot. Members in good standing wishing to vote may do so by sending an email to:

votesubcommittee@gmail.com

Your ballot should include a single candidate choice for each of the three offices. Please include your forum username so that your membership status can be verified. Ballots received without a valid forum username will be discarded. (Valid ballots are those sent in by a member in good standing for the 2017 membership year, and which have been received on or before 6:00pm EST December 30, 2017.)

Remember, your participation in this process is essential to the health and longevity of The SubCommittee. Please participate without delay.

The Election Committee is pleased to announce that the SubCommittee election is closed and the results are officially in and tallied:

Our new President is Sam Reichart, our new Vice President is Tom Chalfant, and of course, running unopposed, our Secretary/Treasurer remains Jim Butt.

Our humble thanks and hearty congratulations to ALL the candidates for their interest in and willingness to serve, and for the zeal and support of their individual constituents. As an organization, we are all blessed to have members willing to make such a commitment.

To our newly elected office holders we suggest—if you have not done so already—that you please take a few minutes to study the SubCommittee Articles of Incorporation, which will provide guidance as to your specific roles and responsibilities as elected officers of the SubCommittee.

The entire organization looks forward to your efforts to serve and promote the SubCommittee and what it represents.

Again, congratulations and thank you,
/signed/ The Election Committee
