Thanks Elizabeth for clarifying the clarifications. I was confused before,
but, the last email made sense of the elections.

Subject: [nFBMI-Talk] Additional Clarification Regarding Student Elections
at State Convention

Hello All,

Please forgive me. It appears as though I made a mistake in my clarification
regarding elections for the Michigan Association of Blind Students at state
convention.

It has always been my understanding that the positions of President and
Vice-President were to be heled by a person who was a student at the time of
the elections. Everyone I know who has held these positions were students at
the time of the elections. And I declined to run for one of these positions
because I was not a student at the time of the elections.

However, here is what the constitution states about the elections for these
positions:

"The president and vice presidents must be blind students and planning to
attend a full-time educational program in the academic year following
election."

Therefore, it appears as though a person does not need to be a student at
the time of the elections as long as they will be a student after the
elections take place.

I am not trying to create any controversy regarding the elections for these
positions. I simply wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same page
in terms of understanding the requirements for these positions. So please
forgive me for failing to double check the working of the constitution
before submitting my post.

Hopefully I have not confused everyone with my emails. So please let me know
if there are any further questions in regards to this matter.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth Mohnke
Board Member,
Michigan Association of Blind Students
