2022 SC4ARC Board Elections – Open Call for Candidates

Each November we elect a new slate of club directors to serve a one-year term. This is an open call for candidates.

Our Board consists of the following positions:

· Officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer

· Directors-at-Large: (several seats)

The Board meets monthly or quarterly, depending on needs, and generally helps to keep major events organized, oversees the club’s finances and physical resources, and coordinates with other community groups. Descriptions for the four officer positions can be found in the By-Laws, Article 5, Sections 6-9.

Directors-at-Large are the elected, voting members of the Board who do not hold officer positions. They facilitate communication and engagement between the general membership and the Board, and promote amateur radio and club events to the communities in which they live.

In addition to regular attendance and participation in Board and general membership meetings, Directors may also take on particular tasks or projects as directed by the executive officers, serve as committee chairs, or act as liaisons to other community interest groups.

To maximize the potential for community outreach and member engagement, in an ideal year the Board would include Directors from every neighborhood: La Honda, Loma Mar, Pescadero, San Gregorio, South Skyline, in addition to the executive officers. However there is no geographic requirement or restriction – any club member in good standing may serve as a Director.

Serving as a Director is a great introduction to club governance and history, and allows new members to have an active voice in planning and policies, with no prior board experience required.

Any club member in good standing may be nominated or self-nominate for any position between now and October 18. If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else for a position, please contact Catherine, KK6UFX (catherine@ben-e-fit.com) or Irma, KM6JVU (mitton@clovercreekfarms.com). To nominate yourself or another please let us know which position you would like to run for, or if you prefer to be an At-Large member.

We currently don’t have a candidate for secretary, and the deadline is tonight. If you think you might be interested, please let the nominating coordinators know, or respond to this post.

The deadline of tonight is for creating the ballot for distribution to the membership. Nominations can be accepted right up to election day on November 20, so don’t worry about tonight’s deadline if you want to give it some thought and talk to me about the position. It’s easy and fun and I would help you, so PLEASE consider putting your name on the ballot.

Thanks. Pat
