2008 Committee Member Nominations
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 4:32 pm
OK folks,
Wow how a newborn keeps you busy! Its september already, and we will finally get the ball rolling on the 2008 planning season with the addition of 3 new members to our committee. I had the pleasure of working with the best committee yet in 2007, and here is your opportunity to make a contribution and continuously improve our event, here's how:
Format:
We will be following the same format as in past years. This means that if you
are interested in running for the Committee, you MUST NOMINATE YOURSELF. If
someone else nominates you, it doesn't count unless you reply and say that yes
you are interested in running. Once you are nominated, you need some backup...
another person MUST SECOND YOUR NOMINATION for it to be fully accepted and your
name to be included on the ballot for voting. All candidates MUST be at least a
2 years veteran of past Bfests... this is truly my only requirement for ALL
candidates. I will be accepting nominations form BOTH the list and
messageboard, however the voting WILL ONLY BE ON THE EMAIL LIST. What this
means is that if you want a say in who is on our Committee, you need to be a
member of the email list on Yahoo.
Schedule:
Nominations will be accepted starting today September 12th, and will run until the
end of the day on Friday September 28th. This will allow 2 weeks for nominations.
Voting on the email list will begin Saturday September 29th and run through Monday, October 1st. With voting running a little over a week, this should allow sufficient time
for people to vote.
FAQ:
-What should I do to get voted on as a candidate?
-Although nothing more is required other than your nominations
statement, you should consider listing qualities and/or experience that would
help those voting understand what you can do to help Bfest 2008.
-What if I want to help but I am still just a college student and/or seem to be
busy?
-You should still give it a try. If you feel you are committed to
helping in any capacity your kind is always welcome... for instance I work 40+
hrs a week, and take 12-13 credits of classes while planning Bfest.
-What if I feel I'm not part of a "clique" or group that is popular within the
Beretta Community?
-That would be a waste of a great opportunity. Anyone, from all
walks of life and corners of our own group are welcome and are encouraged to
try. If you are simply a person who wants to help make Bfest better and keep it
strong, then you are right for the job.
I look forward to seeing everyone going for the committee. I welcome
enthusiastic newcomers with wide open arms... Good luck everyone!!!
