Hi, Chris, I am not Mary, but I can answer you.
It was posted to the list a while back that calls will not be
recorded until August. So, I assume that call (the August one)
will be, but, to answer you, no, I do not think this one will be.
Best,
Josh

Hello All:
I hope this Email finds you doing well. As the NABS elections
approach,
we thought that hosting a Presidential Candidates' Forum would
be both
beneficial and informative for the membership. Thus, we are
asking all
who are interested in voting during the NABS meeting and would
like to
know more about their candidates to participate in this call.
First, the call will consist of six candidates maximum, who are
interested in running for the offices of President, First Vice
President, or Second Vice President. The candidates will be
given a set
time to make opening remarks with random selection to be made
by
the
moderator in advance. Then, they will be asked questions which
the
membership will have provided and, finally, they will have time
to make
concluding statements. If time permits, they will also take
questions
from the floor before making concluding remarks. The time
allotted for
each candidate to deliver statements and answer questions will
depend
both on the number of candidates who choose to participate in
the Forum
and the number of questions submitted. The call is not
expected
to last
any longer than one hour.
In order for the membership to submit questions, I will be
creating a
Survey Monkey form, which we can use to submit our questions.
All
questions must be submitted by noon on Wednesday in order for
them to be
considered. Furthermore, this survey will allow you to
indicate
whether
you are intending to run for an office and be part of this
forum.
In order to make the call objective, Ollie Cantos, who is not
affiliated
with the student division but who is a Federationist and past
president
of NABS, will serve as our moderator. I am attaching his
biography with
this Email. Ollie will be sorting through the questions from
the Survey
Monkey results and selecting which will be posed to the
candidates.
In order for this Forum to be effective, we have set a few
parameters,
so that the call can be objective, informative, and fair to all
those
who want to participate.
1. Because of time constraints, the offices will be
limited to
the positions of President, 1st
Vice President, and 2nd Vice President.
2. These candidates will be given a set time for an
introduction, time to answer questions from the membership, and
time to
make concluding remarks.
3. Those who are running for the previously-mentioned
offices,
except for the office of President, must indicate via Survey
Monkey
their desire to be a part of the forum as a candidate. If more
than two
people are intending to run for the same office and wish to
participate
in the Forum, every effort will be made to accommodate each
candidate.
If the total number of candidates wishing to participate in the
Forum
exceeds 6, only the first 6 names received (2 for President and
the
remainder for the other offices) will be able to participate in
the
Candidate Forum.
4. Once we get a set count of the candidates
participating, we
will send out a breakdown of the time frames. Note that if you
are
participating as a candidate, you will be stopped, even if it
is
mid-sentence by our Moderator, once time is up. He will make
every
attempt to give 30-second warnings before time is set to
expire.
Finally, having read all the postings regarding elections that
have been
written in the last two weeks, I sincerely hope that we all
make
an
effort to be on this call. This is your chance to let your
voice be
heard and to ask questions of your candidates! I will create
the
Survey
Monkey soon, and post the link. In the meantime, be thinking
about what
you want to know about your candidates before July 4th.
Thanks so much!
