2010 Nominees for CAUHF Group Offices and Board Positions

The CAUHF nominating committee presented its recommendations for the election of 2010 officers and board positions at the September 21, 2009 CAUHF business meeting of the general membership.  Members of the committee were:

Paul Graziani W5ZK Chairman,
Leon Robinson K5JLR,
Danny Stressle KE5WLR,
Darin Dikes KK5WA,
Todd Koehler W5TMK

It was the consensus of the membership by motion and second that the 3 open at large board positions be filled by 3 out of 7 nominees receiving the most votes.  The motion carried and the following slate was accepted.

In order to vote in the upcoming election at the November 2009 eating meeting, dues must be paid by October 21, 2009.  Any person applying for membership and paying dues after that time will not be considered a member in good standing until January 1, 2010 for voting purposes.

In order to vote, a person must be present at the November meeting where the election will be held.  There are no absentee or proxy ballots, as these are not permitted by the Group Constitution.  I would encourage as many members as can to attend the November eating meeting.  Watch for the announced date.  The people we select will lead the club for the next year.  Your vote is important.

Finally, I want to thank the members of the nominating committee who volunteered their time to come up with a slate of nominees.  I also want to thank all of those who volunteered to run for office.  The fact that we have several positions with more than one person running is a good sign for the club.

Paul Graziani, W5ZK
