OK folks,

We are starting to get locations proposed for 2009, and we will also get the ball rolling on the 2009 planning season with the addition of 3 new members to our committee. I had the pleasure of working with the best committee yet in 2008, 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 from 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 November 10th, and will run until the end of the day on Friday November 28th. This will allow 2 weeks for nominations.
Voting on the email list will begin Saturday November 29th and run through Saturday, December 6th. With voting running 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 2009.

-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 have worked 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!!!

I would LOVE to be the first to nominate Jason whatever his last name is. He goes by Maj28 over on Bstuff. He was on the comittee in 2006, 2007 and 2008. He was very helpful not only to me but to the entire Beretta Fest goup when I attended BFest 2007. I feel he would make a GREAT addition to the comittee for 2009!!!

I would love to be on the committee for bfest. So I guess I nominate myself, Gypsy.
Also I would like to nominate Styluss, and Jason.

Remember that you must nominate yourself!!  The only nomination that is valid so far here is Gypsy's.  Also, for that nomination to be accepted, one member of the group must second the nomination.  Make sure you guys actually read through what I posted above so that this process goes smoothly...  thanks!

So far we have two people who are nominated and seconded (from the email list).

-Will H.
-Jason A. (MAJ28)

Great job so far and some good people in the running!

I'll be happy to second Gypsy!
