We need nominations for officers!!!!

[JWLaRue]

I'll be glad to offer

I'll be glad to offer an abbreviated description!

The three busiest people in the SubCommittee are (in no particular order) the treasurer, the membership chairman, and the SCR editor.

You'll undoubtably note that only the Treasurer is an elected position.

The roles of the position of president and vice president are very dependent upon what is happening within the organization. If things are going well, there isn't a lot that needs to be done. Please note the use of the word "needs". Since the Executive Committee is charged with overseeing the overall health of the SubCommittee, this is usually taken to mean that we are always attempting to make the organization better...through both big and little investments of our time.

There have been times when the job responsibilities have requried a lot of time. For example when we were getting the new web site up and running. (this would be one of those "big things") Or simply providing guidance to Local Chapters (an example of the "little thing")

One thing that is always a part of these jobs is politics. Even in an organization llike ours....there always seems to be something brewing!

I would say that over the almost six years that I have served as vice president, that excepting the "big things", it has not required a lot of my time as VP. Now as SCR editor....that was a different story!

Just wanted to make sure

[color=#000000]Just wanted to make sure everyone understands how the nominations work.

1) A person must be nominated.
2) A nomination must be seconded.
3) The person being nominated must accept the nomination.

After the above steps have been taken, the nominee is officially a candidate for office, and will appear on the ballot. Please note that all nominees/candidates must be SubCommittee members in good standing, which is determined by the Election Committee.

Here's what we have so far]

I put some thought to this.

I would like to also nominate Paul Crozier for President, and Jeff Porteus for Vice President.
Their names are at the top of many articles in the Report over the years, and their subs are the best representations of their class I have seen. Both have added much to the Subcommittee over the years.

I have accepted nomination for Vice President. Come on Tim Smalley!!!

After feeling my arm being gently twisted behind my back,

I will accept the nomination for president IF ...

Paul Crozier accepts my second for HIM to be a candidate for President of the SubCommittee.

How about it Paul - I'm serious. I think the membership should have a choice. Everyone thinks a lot of you and knows you would be a good leader.

Best regards,

Guys,

I agree with Tim

Guys,

I agree with Tim that we need at least two candidates to run for these offices. I also appreciate his kind words and seconding of my nomination.

However, due to recent work pressures, and four kids finishing up school this week, I haven't given my nomination the consideration it deserves. I will consider the offer, and the responsibilities that go along with it, and post my decision soon.

If I'm throwing my hat in, I want to throw it in all the way!

Guys,

After much reflection and prayerful consideration I must decline the nomination to run for President of the SubCommittee.

While I have no qualms about running, if by some chance I were to win I would not be able to give the position the attention it deserves.

I do appreciate the confidence placed in me and look forward to offering my services as a candidate in the future.

[tmsmalley]

Sorry to hear that Paul.

Sorry to hear that Paul. I know you would have been a good candidate and SC prez.

As I said before, I will accept the nomination for SC president if someone else steps up to also run for SC president so it is not an uncontested race. The club membership deserves a choice.
