Election Update:
The Nominating Committee recommended that the Executive Committee follow Article V, Section 8 of our Constitution, which states:
"In the event the Nominating Committee submits a list
decided upon pursuant to Section 2 which presents not more than one person running as a candidate for each of the four respective elected offices, so that no competitive election is required for any office, then, and not otherwise, by not less than
two-thirds vote, the Executive Committee may vote to declare the proposed slate of officers elected by acclamation, without formal election by the members in good standing pursuant to Section 3."
The Executive Committee has followed
this recommendation and voted to accept the candidates by acclamation. What this means is that we will not execute an election this year and the candidates will accept office September 15, 2024. This offers a savings of $5,000.
A
huge thank you goes to our Nominating Committee for all the time and effort that they dedicated in preparation for this year's election. VoteNow, the service that we use for voting, will not charge us for the testing efforts that were underway.
On September 15, the term ends for all currently serving on the Executive Committee. If you are interested in serving as one of the seven directors, please contact our president, Elizabeth Ringas at eringas@aceonline.org or the Nominating Committee at nominations@aceonline.org. More information on the responsibilities of these positions can be found in Bylaw Two.
