Did you know that NoVAGO is 100% run by volunteers? They are ordinary geocachers who want to give a voice for the the wider geocaching community while supporting efforts in their own Northern Virginia area. To spotlight opportunities in the org, we are running a series of job profiles between now and our “Thanks Event,” the annual volunteer appreciation lunch in January.

NoVAGO Volunteer Profiles: Nominations & Elections Committee

Our annual officer elections take place during the month of December. A Nominations and Election Committee is formed to make the process run smoothly. This team will be accepting nomination for officer positions during the entire month of November. They will contact each person nominated to confirm their interest. In December they will create a ballot for any contested positions and will supervise an election. This committee is the first to know who will make up the officer slate in the new year. The full commitment is about three months, with October being the month to start talking to other members about the positions before nominations official open.

The 2024 Nominations and Election Committee was appointed by the board earlier this year. Volunteer members, Schwandt and MrPsyduck have graciously agreed to take on this again this year. If you see either of them at an event, be sure to thank them for doing their part to help NoVAGO run smoothly.
