LHS Band Family,
Our election cycle is once again underway. Here is what our by-laws has to say about our election process. My comments are in parentheses.
1. At the regularly scheduled February meeting, the President shall appoint a nominating committee of booster members who shall designate a chairman of the committee. (Debi Hendricks and Robyn Stewart have agreed to serve as the Nominating Committee this year. THANK YOU both!!!)
2. The nominating committee shall adopt a list of candidates for each position (Officers and Board members) to be decided by general election. The list shall be presented to the general membership at the regularly scheduled March meeting and shall be published in the March issue of the Booster newsletter.
3. At the regularly scheduled April meeting, the President will again announce the names of the persons adopted by the nominating committee and shall call for any additional nominations from the membership in attendance. Nominations may be made from the floor by any eligible voting member. Self-nominations are permitted. Any and all such nominations so received from the floor shall be added to the official list of nominations. (Per our by-laws, we are governed by Robert's Rules of Order, and accordingly nominations do not require a second. Members can be nominated for more than one position.)
4. All members present will be eligible to vote in the general election. Voting will be by secret ballot. Votes will be collected by the chairman of the nominating committee and counted by the members of the committee. A simple majority of the eligible votes cast shall be required for the election to any and/or each of the offices.
5. The nominee who receives the highest number of votes for each office shall be declared the winner. The 5 nominees for Board of Directors who receive the highest number of votes shall be elected.
See you all at the March meeting!!
Jack
