2015 Board - New Rules - changes

[denisev]

Its that time of year again, start thinking of who you would like to nominate for a board position. We have some members leaving and some staying, some will need to be reconfirmed. Also, if you or your class would like to propose a rule (new or change) start working on it. I want to be able to put together a ballot for voting on board members as well as new rules.

I am going to make a suggestion that I think this membership and board should highly consider. - REMOVE THE ABILITY TO USE THIS DISCUSSION BOARD. KEEP IT ONLY FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS. - This would force those who want to discuss situations further to come to a board meeting.

I will be requesting that at the next board meeting and if necessary posing it to the membership.

When is the next board meeting and when specifically is the election. Who specifically is staying and who is going. Please post the names of these individuals.

here

Oh, Al- I simply adore you. I was wondering if you were lurking out there with your bowl of popcorn, while I was once again opinionating on here.
I can sure see Denise' point though. She has been publicly accused of lying on here at least twice in the past few days. That can be hurtful to both her personally and to the club as well.
I am not in favor of shutting the board down for others to post, but understand her position.

Don't shut down the forum. There are other solutions or ways to deal with a difference of opinion or questions. Again to the members I will be running for a board position and I am looking forward to try and implement some of these communication ideas. So now can someone please answer the questions I asked in this post earlier. Thanks

The next board meeting is September 10th. This meeting is always the second Wednesday of the month (unless otherwise indicated). To start at 7:00pm at the Native New Yorker, and is open to any "Member of AKA that would like to be there or anyone else who is invited.

As to who will be leaving the board, I will only comment that I know of 3 for sure. I am not going to start posting names, (they may want to run again) or say anything that will be construed incorrectly. So regardless, if you want to be on the board next year, start asking around. Also, if there are any rules you would like to see changed, please sit down, write up a proposal, just remember, the membership will be voting based on exactly how the proposal is written.

So if anyone is still confused, please come to a board meeting, ask your questions and get your answers.

Thank you,
Denise

Thank you. Perhaps I worded my request incorrectly. I guess I was really asking for info on who's term is up. Not who is leaving because as you stated they may run for re-election. From what I understand here are the people who's term is up. Kevin Bailey, Jim Mineo, Denise Vitek, Scott Batten and Oscar Cota. All, some or none may run for re-election. I was more interested in who the potential candidates might be. Thanks again. and please correct this info if I have gotten it wrong. Have you ever considered Fuddruckers for board or club meetings. Lots of room and good burgers. I-17 and Dunlap SE corner.

[denisev]

Kevin, Oscar and Dave are the only ones who's terms are up. Denise, Ken and Jim were voted onto the board at the 2013 membership meeting. Scott's position would need to be approved by the membership. I will need to double check on Kevin, not sure if he was appointed or voted in by the membership. I will find out and let everyone know, but it wont be today.

We will consider any location that has a room for our use where they don't charge any fee's or have a minimum food order to be able to use the room.

Thank you. I will look into the Fuddrucker location. I will scout others as well. Needs to be some place where you an hear each other talk.
