As we look forward to June, it is time for chapter
leadership boards to start planning for their fall elections. You, as Vice President of your local chapter,
play a key role in the success of the election process. Part of your role as vice president is being
responsible for the nominations process. We've also copied two other leaders
who we know have email access and can help.
Please review
your chapter leader terms on-line to discuss your election “strategy” this year.
Many chapter leaders are currently serving their fourth term and will be
required to go off the board at the end of the year. In order to keep some
experienced officers on the board, an individual who has served three
consecutive terms may choose to step down for one year so they may be elected
again having three more years of eligibility.
The attached
materials will help you with the nominations process. We hope you will get
started right away. We have also emailed
a copy of this document to the President and Records Director of your
chapter. In the following pages, you
will see how almost everyone on the chapter leadership board plays a role in
the elections process. Feel free to make
copies of these pages to distribute to the other leaders at your upcoming
meeting.
The LCS team is scheduling a
teleconference on Wednesday, July 23, at 7:30 PM for any chapter
leaders, new or experienced, who need help or have questions concerning their
2008 fall chapter election. We would ask that you read the attached election
materials and have your questions prepared in advance of this teleconference.
Chapter leaders will be encouraged to share best practices that they have used
in past years. The dial-in-number is 1-800-453-7412. The pass code is 247903#. Please call in approximately 5 minutes prior
to the scheduled time. If you are unable to participate in the call, you may
have another chapter officer call in for you.
If you have
any further questions, please give Steve Zeigler – RFO 165 (888-270-9558) or
Reni Hy – RFO 115 (866-663-9817) a
call.
We appreciate
all of your hard work as a chapter volunteer and thank you for your help with
the election process!
