The proposed by-laws state “Election to a position will be by simple majority of those voting. If the first ballot fails to produce a majority for one candidate, a runoff of the two with the most votes will be conducted. If a candidate is unopposed for an office they will be placed into office by default.”
Even though we have an “unopposed slate”, since the NoVAGO members have not formally accepted the ByLaws, we will still hold the elections for officers and have opened up the voting process.
This does several things, the NoVAGO membership formally accepts the nominees, it exercises the voting process, and provides a first step in defining our identity as an organized group.
All registered members of the NoVAGO site are eligible to vote in this election. I hope that we will receive vote from each and every one of you.
In order to vote for our new NoVAGO Officers, please
send an email to us with “NoVAGO vote” in the subject line.
Your email will be delivered to our volunteer vote takers (who are not nominees). Polls close December 31st.
In summary, the nominees are:
President
Rufnredy
Vice President
LionHeart
Secretary
Team RJJO
Treasurer
BAJA Clan
Public Relations
Network Cacher
Thanks again for voting and helping to kick off NoVAGO as an active voice for Northern Virginia Cachers. We have a lot on our agenda including formally organizing, discussions with the local parks representatives, classes for the general public, and much much more and we look forward to working with everyone to help make caching in NoVAGO fun for everyone involved!
