2024 PICKLEBALL BOARD NOMINATIONS
After the November 12th meeting, several of our members took on the challenge, and submitted their name as nominees for the open positions.
I wouldn’t say that my mailbox was inundated with submissions; nevertheless, we now have enough to move forward with a full board and perpetuate the existence of our club for another 12 months.
Here are the particulars:
The following board members have one year remaining on their 2-year commitment:
Troy Konz – President
Eileen Saunders – Treasurer
Patrick Hansen – Member at Large
The following positions are up for election:
Vice President – Dennis O’Dell is running unopposed and will therefore serve two more years.
Secretary – 2 candidates will vie for this position.
Jeanne Harteau
Gloria Bishop
Member at Large – 5 candidates will vie for 2 positions.
Mark Meier
Joe Shevlin
Don Cacciatore
Everett Pincolini
Pam Speer
This year we will use online voting via Voting Portals and in-person paper ballot voting at the Membership Meeting on December 10th.
Online voting will start on December 6th and will end on December 10th one hour before the Membership Meeting. All members who registered for Voting Portals will receive a secure link via email to allow them to vote online.
Members can choose to vote in person instead of online.
Here’s what will happen at that meeting:
Each person attending who has not voted online via Voting Portals, will be given a paper ballot when checking in at the front desk.
Each of the candidates will give a synopsis of who they are, their background, interests, qualifications, etc. Their presentation will be limited to 3 minutes.
Once candidates start their presentation, NO MORE BALLOTS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED.
Then you will vote for one of the two nominees to fill the vacant Secretary seat and two of the five nominees to fill the vacant Member at Large seats.
Ballots will be collected. We will have three ballot counters. The counters will be sequestered in a room away from the general meeting. This is necessary to avoid the fiasco that has taken place in prior years, when despite admonition to the contrary, many of our members were interrupting the counters, and making it difficult for them to do their job.
If there are any questions, my email is below.
