[NBLUG/Announce] 2006 Board Elections and nominations

We will be holding elections for the board at the next general meeting. The nomination period starts now and ends April 9th. The list of current nominations will be posted at http://nblug.org/board/election/2006/. In order to nominate yourself or somebody else, send an email to talk(a)nblug.org with "NOMINATE" in the subject line. Nominations do not require a second, but must be accepted by the nominee. There are currently 6 positions available and no nominations. Positions are: - President - Vice-President - Treasurer - Scribe (secretary) - 2 Directors at Large. Descriptions of the duties are included in our bylaws: http://nblug.org/bylaws -- but, basically, the President, VP, Treasurer and Scribe are all pretty much what you'd expect, the directors at large have no duties other than showing up for board meetings and voting on issues. If you're interested in influencing how NBLUG does things, but don't want any commitments beyond showing up for a board meeting for about an hour once a month, the Director-at-Large positions are a great way to go. (we might try to trick you into taking on other duties, though. ;) The actual election process will be paper-based, so you need to show up for the April 11th meeting in order to vote. -- Eric Eisenhart NBLUG Co-Founder and Scribe The North Bay Linux Users Group -- http://nblug.org/ eric(a)nblug.org, IRC: Freiheit@fn AIM: falschfreiheit
