Andy,
Your comments remind me of the lawyers creed:
If the law is against you, argue the facts If the facts are against you, argue the law When both are against you, attack the person
You have yet to address any of issues brought up.
If Jay wins the election for President, I'll be there to pay my dues.
Darryl says you are a nice guy, so I'll trust Darryl on this. But the way you, and apparently others, are ignoring the bylaws as an inconvenient obstacle to some agenda doesn't help his assessment.
Marvin
P.S. - If you want to attack, feel free. But take it to private email so others don't have to read or clutter their inbox with this c**p.

Marvin--either pay your dues or go away--you have nothing do to with this, and your comments are not helping Jay or anyone else. For the 4 years that I have been on the board the nomination committee has always presented the state to the BOD first and it has been approved, it does not matter what the bylaws say there is history which would stand up in court here--bylaws a guide lines and history is more compelling in cases like this.

Andy and Al,
Here is a direct quote from the current bylaws:
Article VI Elections (from current bylaws approved in 2000)
Section 2. A nominating committee appointed by the President with the concurrence of the Board, shall meet prior to the election to consider and submit the names of qualified candidates for nomination as officers and directors, at the October Club meeting next preceding the election and to all voting members in writing in advance of the election. Additional nominations may be made from the floor prior to the election.
Note there is nothing said about needing board approval.
Thanks!
Marvin

- Darryl needs to get board approval on any slate the nominating
committee provides before it is posted. 2. Any member in good standing can stand up at a meeting of the general membership and present themselves as a candidate or be nominated from the floor by another provided they concur. Al

Bruce--well said and I have to admit that I was surprised when I saw the list of nominations for the officers--I wish, as a member of the club I had a choice of multiple candidates for some of the offices--a no vote is my only option I guess but normally those running for office for any Board I am associated with at least have to post a bio and a several paragraph statement about why they want to run for office and what their plans are for executing that office--looks as if this time we are stuck with some candidates that I just cannot support in good conscience. Further the list was just made available to us. Some of the people on here have felt as if the move to a smaller board was to gain power for the few--now what I am seeing is that the nominations are designed to serve the few who have been working in the back-ground to set-up their own agenda instead of giving the members a far opportunity to voice their thoughts and opinions.

Hi all,
There has certainly been a lot of of opinion and arguement on this list recently about club organization and leadership. Daryl has provided a set of candidates for the existing club offices. We have no information on who would stand for election for the positions under the proposed new bylaws. Because of the increased responsibilities for each member of a smaller board, it would be important to know who would be willing to serve on it. Just like in the "real world", the quality of the result usually depends more on the character of the person than the job description.
