Nominations (including self-nominations) are now open for VGFD's officers and Executive Board for 2008. Nominations close at the end of the VGFD meeting on August 16. The election will take place at the September 15 meeting. The term of office is from January 1 to December 31, 2008.
There are four officer positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) and seven at-large Executive Board positions. Officers are also members of the E-Board. You may be nominated for an officer position and an E-Board position. If you don't win the officer position then you can still run for E-Board, provided you were nominated for E-Board.
Nominees must be members in good standing for at least 90 days prior to the election, paid dues and have actively worked in previous volunteer efforts of VGFD for at least 30 hours during the past 12 months. Volunteer hours are those for which no compensation is received from any source. The Nominating Committee will verify the eligibility of candidates before the election.
The duties of the Executive Board shall be to approve the budget; authorize the receipt of revenue and payment of expenses; set the membership dues; formulate policy and approve projects to carry out the purposes of the club; review all projects and activities of the standing committees of the club; and make decisions regarding the employment of any paid staff. Executive Board Members are expected to attend all meetings. Any member of the
Executive Board who misses a total of four meetings in a calendar year shall have automatically resigned from the Executive Board at the close of the fourth missed meeting.
The deadline is the end of the August 16 VGFD meeting, where nominations will be taken in person.
