By: Olivia LeBlanc, FY18 Region C Nominating Committee Chair
On behalf of the Region C nominating committee , Hope Toole Schwalls, Stacey Culver, and Zaineb Ahmad, I am pleased to announce the committee selected Ebalina Roitberg and Kate Van Dellen as the candidates for Senator for the three-year term beginning July 1, 2018. The committee has also selected Liberty Schmidt and Shelley Stracener as the candidates for Region Representative to the Society Nominating Committee for the two-year term beginning July 1, 2018.
Voting members of the Society assigned to the region will elect the Senator during the Society’s general elections.
The Region Council shall elect the Region Representative to the Society Nominating Committee. Petition candidates are not permitted for this position, but write-in candidates are allowed. Election instructions, background material about each of the candidates, and ballots will be e-mailed to voting members of the Region Council no later than March 15, 2018.
According to the bylaws, additional candidates for Senator may be nominated by petition, provided that the person is qualified for the position and agrees to be on the ballot if the petition is successful. A minimum of 2% of the voting members of the Society in the region, with no more than half being from any one section or from the members at large, must sign or endorse the petition. There were 4155 voting members of the Society in the region as of 1/5/18; accordingly 84 signatures/endorsements are needed to nominate a member by petition. The petition along with written consent from the candidate must be received no later than midnight on February 28. Potential petition candidates should contact me as soon as possible for complete instructions about preparing petitions.
The Nominating Committee believes we have offered an outstanding slate for consideration by the Region Council. We hope you agree!
