2011 Election Information

Welcome to chapter election season! Per our by-laws, our members elect a board of directors every second year. And for the next month, it’s your job to weigh in, get active, and vote for whomever you think can keep our chapter among the strongest in the nation.

This is a 2-step process: Any ASMP member can be a director, but in order for them to be considered for the board, YOU will have to nominate them, and YOU will have to vote for them.

Between now and Dec. 31, ASMP Colorado is accepting nominations. To nominate someone for the board (first check with them to be sure it’s OK) send an eMail to [email protected]. You can nominate as many people as you want, but they all must be chapter members. You can even nominate yourself!

Ballots will go out on Monday, January 17th and need to be returned by January 31st. All General and Life members will receive a ballot via email. Each will have the names of all nominees and their statements. Directions for casting your ballot will be included.

The fine print:

· Your nominee will be asked to provide a statement as to why or how they plan on maintaining or improving the quality of this chapter. They should prepare this as soon as they’re nominated.

· The chapter’s by-laws stipulate that there will be no more than 12 directors on the Board. (But the board can vote to expand or contract.) Those receiving the most votes will be made Directors. Board terms are for 2 years.

· The board will vote positions such as President, Secretary, and Treasurer etc. on Wednesday, February 9th. New board members will be expected to attend this and future board meetings, which occur on the second Wednesday of even months at the Denver Press Club downtown.

For more information contact McCory James.
