I had someone ask and I think it is a valid question. For those that may not be privy to this information, what does each of the positions entail? I mean, other than running the departments that are under their name on the org chart, or is that what they do? haha.

The org chart is actually a pretty good reference. I've posted a summary in the Elections Summary thread.

[Jalak]

I second Kate Fletcher for Director of Relations.

[AllyKat]

Thank you, but at this time I am going to Decline my nomination in order to provide excellent service to the future new chair.

[MichaelEvans]

As Kate is already seconded, and I am not familiar enough with the Relation's department I will nominate Samantha Taylor as a logical other choice for Relations Director since she too appears to have been an assistant in that department.


As a point of procedural clarification, should Jeff be elected as Chair, would he also retain his position as Secretary, or would we need to hold another election for that position?

[NeverlandFayrie]

I believe that Secretary is a Board-elected position, so other then nominations there would not need to be a member election if Jeff were to win Chair, and no longer be Secretary.
