Have you ever thought about running for the MSBO Board of Directors? Take a moment and consider it ... it’s a great opportunity for you to help set the policies and directions for your organization.
The Nomination Committee — consisting of the five most recent MSBO Past Presidents — selects and presents candidates for the MSBO Board of Directors. Matthew Losch, Immediate Past President, will serve as the committee chairperson for 2007-08 election.
Contact Matt if you’re interested in being a candidate. There are two positions up for election. The deadline for submission of nominations is December 1, 2007.
There are several requirements that must be met according to the MSBO Bylaws:
- To be considered and possibly nominated, a potential candidate must submit a petition — bearing at least 30 active member signatures — to the Nominations Committee on or before December 1, 2007.
- The Nomination Committee, without petition, may submit nominations.
- The Nominations Committee chairperson will obtain written acceptance from all nominees prior to any announcement to the membership.
- The nominations will be announced to the membership — in written form — at least 30 days prior to the Annual Conference.
- Nominations will be accepted from the floor of the first general session of the Annual Conference.
Elections will be held on Thursday, May 1, 2007 at the Annual Conference in Grand Rapids.
