Elections

New England : Elections and Voting

(a) On or before the end of April one official ballot shall be mailed to each member. As a cost savings measure, multiple addressed and sealed ballots may be hand delivered by a board member to other members at his place of employment. No earlier than four weeks from date of mailing the ballots will be tallied at the next Board Meeting by those in attendance. In the event of a tie, the Executive Board will make the decision or call for a run off election.

We apologize for the delay...ballots will be mailed before end of OCT 07.

(b) The officers elected shall automatically take office August 1st. It is urged that those who are elected and those who have served in office work as a team during the transition. If the candidate is unable to serve at any time during their elected year the runner up will serve in that office. If there was no opposition candidate, the Board may appoint someone to fill the vacancy.

(c) The board will seek out enthusiastic individuals to serve. Preferably, CLAS members with the ability to perform the tasks required to fulfill the mission of the Chapter will receive preferential consideration for nomination. Nomination will be by decision of the board. Refer to the Operations Manual for additional information.
