KCYC Nominating Committee – Call for Nominations
Are you interested in a Board Leadership Position?
The Commodore has selected the 2020 Nominating Committee members: Nancy Langwith, Kim Page, Steve Young, John Gantz, and Rick Wood. The responsibilities of this group are to advertise open positions on the Board, collect names or offer names of potential candidates, inform potential candidates of the role and expectations for each position, receive a commitment from each candidate, identify at least 1 candidate for each open position and present those names to the general membership for a final vote at the September General meeting.
As has been true in the past, the open positions include: Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore, Fleet Captain, Treasurer, Secretary, and Trustee (2 year Term). The current 2 year Trustee, Rick Eveleth, will continue in his position and the current Commodore will become the Past Commodore. There is a tradition of flag officers “walking the chairs” meaning that flag officers move through the chairs from Fleet Captain to Commodore in order to maintain continuity and institutional knowledge. Although the tradition stands, it is not absolute and anyone interested must notify the Nominating Committee if they would like to be considered for any office.
Leadership is paramount to the success of the club and each member has the responsibility to help select that leadership and volunteer for a leadership position when ready. With this Call for Nominations, we are asking that each person consider whether this is the year that they will step for a Board Position or provide names of others that they think would be a good fit. Job descriptions and the Bylaws Requirements for officers may be found on the website in the Documents Folder, titled "Board Job Descriptions". Click here to access the folder: Board Member Job Descriptions.
Please pass your own name or another to a member of the Nominating Committee for consideration. The Nominating Committee will contact each nominated person to offer information concerning the role and the expectations via discussions and job descriptions. If you have questions or would like more information, contact any member of the Nominating Committee.
Remember it is OK to nominate yourself!
Nancy Langwith
Chair, Nominating Committee
