    Notice of Upcoming SubCommittee Elections

    Hear ye, Hear ye,

    Fellow SubCommittee members,

 

The Election Committee announces that per the Articles of Incorporation for the SubCommittee, an election for the Offices of President, Vice President/Secretary, and Treasurer of The Subcommittee will be held later this year. Officers will hold office for a three-year term, starting January 1, 2018.

    The following is a brief description of the roles of the officers:

    · President – 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 becomes unable to perform that office.

    · 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 The SubCommittee.

    The Election Committee, per its charter, is now requesting Candidates for Office.

 If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Candidate for one of the three Offices, please contact the Chairman of the Election Committee: Jeff Porteous. Jeff can be reached via e-mail at jefftytoo@ca.rr.com. 

Nominations can come from any current member of the SubCommittee and will require a formal nomination request and a nomination “second” by e-mail. Nominations will be accepted until July 1, 2017.

 All Candidates for Office are expected to be members in good standing with The SubCommittee. All persons elected to Office are expected to remain in good standing for the duration of their term in office.



    Ideally, each member who wishes to run for Office will have access to the Internet because this is the principle means for the officers to communicate and transact SubCommittee business. Candidates are also required to submit a short writeup describing who they are, their qualifications, and why they are running for office. These writeups must be submitted and received by the Election Committee no later than July 6, 2017, so that they can be published in the September, 2017 issue of the SubCommittee REPORT.

 The election will be held via electronic ballot to an e-mail address to be made known at a later date. 

Anyone wishing to have his/her vote count in this election must (a) be a SubCommittee member in good standing for the 2017 membership year, and (b) have his/her ballot received before December 30, 2017.

    /signed/
    The Election Committee

    Though so many of us are still reeling over the sudden tragic loss of Big Dave, I just happened to think that some might still appreciate an update on the current status of SC election process:

    At this point we stand with two wonderful candidates for President: Sam Reichart and Bob Martin. Both have been officially nominated, seconded and expressed an interest in running. As of this moment, the Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer spots are still officially up for grabs. Any takers?

      Flash Update, Gents:

      Just this evening, Jim Butt has been officially nominated to continue his post as Treasurer by Paul Crozier and seconded by Matt Thor.

      That leaves only the Vice President spot still wide open.

      Thanks,
      JeffP

          Mark Jones has just Seconded Paul's nomination of Tom Chalfant for Vice President.

          We now have at least one candidate running for all three positions.

                  Done. Reaffirming, then, that as of this moment we officially have Bob Martin and Sam Reichart running for President, with Chad Divine and Tom Chalfant running for Vice President. Jim Butt continues to run unopposed for Sec./Treasurer. (Thanks for agreeing to continue to serve, Jim!) The ballot shall so read unless further changes occur in the coming weeks.

                  Thanks to One and All,
                  JeffP

                    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
