REPORT
from VOTF Board of Trustees – Next VOTF officer elections
VOTF’s election
of national officers will be held in late winter. The Board
of Trustees has announced that
the election of national officers (president, vice president,
treasurer, and secretary) will take place in February 2006.
The Board approved moving the election from the end of
the year to February because of the high level of activity
in the national office at the end of the year. The Board
also believes that the organization will benefit from increasing
the term of office for officers from one year to two years.
Two committees have been formed to implement the election
process. The Nominations committee will receive and review
all nominations. The Elections Committee will oversee
voting procedures and the accuracy of results. The
Board of Trustees
is pleased to announce that Elia Marnik (MA), who served
on last year’s Nominations Committee, has agreed
to chair the new Nominations Committee. The Board is pleased
to announce that Bill Casey (VA) has agreed to chair the
Elections Committee.
Nominations for the national officer positions will
be open from November 15 until December 15, 2005. More information
about how and to whom nominations should be submitted
will be forthcoming from the Nominations Committee, as
well
as information about the nominations process, including
job descriptions and key dates. These will be posted
on our website at www.votf.org
Candidates will be interviewed by the nominations committee
and the election slate finalized by January 15, 2006.
Voting will take place on yet-to-be-specified dates in
February
2006. The Board has accepted the recommendation that
all voting be conducted on-line. Provisions will be made
by
the elections committee to ensure appropriate voting
procedures.
