[Cinci-nfb] FW: [Important to Read--Cinci-nfb] Request for Nominating Committee

Thu Nov 16 00:46:47 UTC 2017

Annie. It seems the disagreement is about whether to hold open elections (during next Chapter meeting, which is scheduled now for December 2) or to hold a nominating committee which would present candidates to the floor on Election Day. I’m neutral on the matter. If we agree to have a nominating committee, I will be glad to participate.

Very Best,

Chris

Greetings Deborah and the Cincinnati NFB Chapter members:

Currently, there are four members, (Sheri Albers, Walter Mitchell, Kim McEachirn and me) who have requested that a nominating committee be put into place for the December 2nd elections.  I am going out on a limb to express my opinion further.  Recently, It seems  to be those individuals who do the majority of the work for the organization who are brave enough to stand up and say what they think about policies and procedures.  You don’t have to agree with us, four, but at least be bold enough to say something.

Please read Sheri’s request:  “According to Article Seven: Committees, the president shall appoint such committees that he/she or the membership of the organization deems necessary.

As a member of the organization, I deem it necessary for the formation of a nominating committee for the upcoming chapter election. This will ensure a smooth and efficient election process. 

Please read Kim’s remark:  “I understand Debra‘s response earlier of that is something that has not normally been done. I’m not sure whether normally something that being done, means that it is and authoritative notion that it does not have to be done.”

Does any one else have their own voice?  If so, we encourage you to express yourself.

Blessings,

Annie carson

I am not sure if the constitution believe you’re funny directly to the president or whether in the absence of the president making that decoration decoration can be made by an organizational members. I am not certain for sure. However, I do think it is important that a nominating committee be set up. I understand Debra‘s response earlier of that is something that has not normally been done. I’m not sure whether normally something that being done, means that it is and authoritative notion that it does not have to be done. Thank you

Good Afternoon,

Thank you Deborah for sending out the recording of the constitution.

According to Article Seven: Committees, the president shall appoint such committees that he/she or the membership of the organization deems necessary.

As a member of the organization, I deem it necessary for the formation of a nominating committee for the upcoming chapter election. This will ensure a smooth and efficient election process. 

Best Regards,

Sheri Albers, Vice President
