All positions serve a one-year term starting in December. The club ‘elections committee is charged with taking nominations for interested candidates, soliciting position statements, counting the votes and reporting the outcome. The position statement is optional, but could spell out why you want to serve and what you think makes you a good candidate.
Anyone can run for office — all you have to have is the desire to serve and be a member in good standing, meaning you’re up to date on membership dues and not facing any disciplinary actions. You can nominate yourself or someone else in the club whom you think would be a good candidate. The committee will confirm interest with that person.
The duties of each position are spelled out in the bylaws (online and in the membership directory), but feel free to contact the election committee or the current officeholder if you have any questions.
Voting will take place during October. All members will receive a copy of Between the Spokes with a ballot enclosed. Simply fill it out and send it back to us per the instructions. This is a great way to help keep the club the successful organization that it’s become over the years. Please don’t hesitate to step up and serve.
If you are interested in running for any of the positions, please contact the committee at elections@bmwbmw.org. Alternately, you can contact Jim Howland at secretary@bmwbmw.org .
