Well, not completely but it's definitely a good start.

Check the Friday News for the new BoD list.

Is it in the process of going out? Haven't gotten mine yet.

 

[Martlet]

Impossible. NES doesn't make a difference.

Got my friday GOAL email.


Sent from my iPhone 5.

 

[Dirtypacman]

Got the email from GOAL and saw the names - we all did a good job.
Thank you for stepping up to the plate and helping make GOAL a better organization.

Very happy and looking forward to helping as much as I can also.

From the Friday News;

Congratulations to our new Board Members!
Jim Finnerty, Joe Currie, Steve Moysey, and Mike Anthony.

Here is the current list of GOAL Board of Directors:


Term up in 2013
David LaRosa
John Beaumont
Peter McBride
John Sklenak
Gary Wilk

Term up in 2014
Jay Beard
Steve Moysey
Wendy Parsons
Joe Currie
Michael Anthony

Please note: The new BoD will convene for the first time on 4/23/12 to vote on the new officers of the GOAL BoD. Therefore this list is likely to change as some of the directors listed above may become officers of the board. Vacancies will be filled by the Board that evening.

Congrats to all the new BOD's.

I was just thinking that the views of NES obviously don't coincide with those of GOAL members. </snark>

JAR, I hit send on the FN, then made my post here, it can take up to an hour for everyone to receive it. Please let me know if you don't get it.

This ^.

JAR, I got my FN the same minute you posted here.

 

[FrugalFannie]

Thanks everybody.

Congrats!

Congrats to all!

This is very troubling to me and I would urge caution. According to the bylaws (Article VII, Section 6) vacancies on the board are filled from votes in the preceding election. That means that at least in theory someone who got a single write-in vote in the election could be next in line for a board position. Is that really what we want?

I would urge our new board to look outside the boardroom for new officers rather than cannibalizing the current board.

Also who took Chris's spot on the board and when was that vacancy filled? (And was it filled according to Article VII, Section 6?)

I had the same reaction.

Congratulations and thank you to all who were able to volunteer to take on this role.

Jason, I think I would be next up with two write in votes.

Yea, no kidding.

 

[P-14]

Nice! Congratulations Jim, Dr. Steve, and Joe!

 

[jasons]

Can you be on the BoD and an employee at the same time? (And who's after you, since it seems there's already an open spot...)

 

[bob68]

Al Haig is next in line after Mike.

After re-reading the bylaws, they specifically say that vacancies are filled by the "nominee" with the next highest number of votes. I don't think write-ins are technically nominees according to the bylaws since they didn't get the 20 signatures required for nomination.

Al Haig is next in line after Mike.

Sounded good to Al Haig !
