Announcement
Members,
It's that time of year again - elections are coming up for President and 6 Director seats on November 5th.
There will be some changes because of the new Bylaws, so Treasurer and Secretary will be appointed positions selected by the Board.
We have also moved to staggered Board seats with One-Year terms for Board members with 3 elected every 6 months. To get this process started, 3 of the new Board members will be elected for 6-month terms so that we can hold the second election in 6 months. Therefore, the 3 Board members with the fewest votes will serve a 6 month term.
Also, as part of the Bylaws changes, Board Members are required to be current Freeside members.
We will be accepting nominations until November 1st. Nominees can send an email to secretary@freesideatlanta.org and Eldon will add you to the ballot. You should also announce to the mailing list your intentions to run with some kind of qualifications/platform.
- So that's - *
Throw your hat in to run by Nov 1st. Elections are on Nov 5th. Announce if you intend to run and email secretary@freesideatlanta.org to be added to the ballot
Cheers!
Steven Sutton
