Just a thought - I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from the secretary position, but it does take a considerable time commitment.

A quick reminder to everyone that nominations will close at midnight on Monday, November 30th. If you've been vacillating about putting your name in the hat, now's the time! We will be using electronic balloting this year to collect and tally the votes and only those candidates that have expressed their interest in running by the deadline will be listed on the ballot and eligible for election. Watch for details on Tuesday about submitting your vote! Current candidates are posted here: http://www.psmini.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6171. |

Will there be a spot for write-candidates since it will be all electronic?

No, there won't be which is why we're encouraging everyone to get their nominations in by the deadline tonight. If there is someone that you want to see on the ballot, please have them submit their name. You may also nominate someone, but please make sure they have been made aware of the nomination and agree to the responsibilities beforehand.

Thanks, Linda.
I wasn't planning to submit my name or nominate someone else - just curious since we've always had a spot for write-ins before and, at least last year, many folks used it. Glad to have the heads up before I get my ballot.

Actually, we only had 5 write-in votes this last election and 2 in 2007. The downside to write-ins is that the general membership doesn't get to ask those candidates any questions prior to voting or learn anything about their reasons for running if they haven't made their wish to run public. I know we all want to be sure that people running are willing and able to take on the responsibilities on behalf of the club.
Thanks,
Linda
