December - San Diego Woodturners

San Diego Woodturners Page No 4 December 2002
NOMINATIONS FOR NEW CLUB BOARD
MEMBERS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED
As mentioned in the last newsletter
and at the last club meeting,
we are in the process of
electing new board members
for the San Diego
Woodturners. The election will
be held at the January 15 th club
meeting.
The board of directors is
responsible for the operation
of our club. They vote for club
officers, they select committee
chairs for: programs, the
newsletter, the raffle, the video
librarian, etc. They oversee
the club’s finances.
Part of the process of incorporation
is that the group is
required to have a board of
directors. At that time, the
group decided to have 15
directors each with 3-year
terms. To keep the board
experience somewhat consistent,
it was also decided that
one third of the board would
rotate off each year. So, it is
now time nominate members
for election to the board of
directors.
The bylaws state that a director
will serve a 3-year term, but
that they may not serve more
than two consecutive terms. At
the end of each year, the board
must nominate a slate of
candidates to fill the open
seats. The entire membership
votes for the new directors and
the top five vote getters are
elected. Currently, all of the
outgoing board members are
eligible to serve again if they
so choose.
The current board members,
their terms, and year their
terms end are as follows.
Terms end in December of the
year listed.
