By Eli Post, Board Secretary

CRW Elections for four Board Members are coming up. This is a second mailing regarding the election. There were technical issues in the first mailing, and we decided to restart fresh.

There are 9 Directors on the CRW Board and the Past President serves in an ex officio role for one year after his or her term.  Each year, CRW members elect 3 directors for a 3-year term.  A director is allowed to serve no more than two consecutive 3-year terms. 

Board of Directors meetings are held every two months in odd-numbered months.  One of those meetings is anticipated to be an all-day planning meeting. 

In this election, there are four open Director seats to be filled.  The three top candidates will serve three-year terms from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. The fourth in line will serve the remaining time of a recently resigned Director.

 

This is the process for Election of the Board:

·         Any member may submit his / her own name as a candidate for the current Board vacancies, not later than Saturday September 30th.  Each candidate may submit a statement of 250 words or less, including a single photo, to be disseminated to the membership and included in the ballot.

•     Submit your nomination and statement to https://www.crw.org/forms and select “Board Candidate  Statement.” We created this form to help manage the election and provide consistent results. However, if you find the form daunting, you can send me the statement/photo directly elipost@comcast.net
•   The statements and voting procedures will appear in early October. Unless you are applying for the CRW Board, there is no action to take, at the moment, but be prepared to vote.

•      Election of Directors shall be by electronic ballot transmitted to all members. CRW members in good standing as of August 31st are eligible to vote. Votes of the members shall be confidential. Voting shall be allowed from Monday October 2nd and continue through the following Thursday October 5th.  The Secretary shall verify and publish the results no later than the second Sunday of October.
•   All eligible CRW members may vote once for up to as many candidates as there are openings on the Board
•     The names of the newly elected Directors will appear in the November WheelPeople.
