2009 ElectionsPosted 9/8/08
Cheryl L. George, Chairperson of the Committee on Nominations and Elections, CCBD, requests nominations for the following offices for the winter 2009 elections:
- Vice President – The Vice President serves a 4-year term, 1 year each as Vice President, President Elect, President and Past President. This position provides overall leadership to CCBD in all capacities.
- Secretary – The Secretary serves a two-year term.
- Student Member-at-Large – The Student Member-at-Large serves a two-year term. This position represents the interests of CCBD’s student membership.
- CCBD Representative to the Representative Assembly (Representative B) - Representative B serves a two-year term. This position acts as a voice and advocate for CCBD at the CEC Representative Assembly. This position requires that the Representative attend the CEC Representative Assembly at the ICEC Annual Convention in the spring.
- Nominations and Elections Committee Member – The Nominations and Elections Committee Member serves a three-year term. This position works with the Nominations and Elections Chair to approve a slate of nominees for CCBD’s annual elections.
All terms of office for all offices begin July 1, 2009. Since much of the CCBD business is now conducted via telephone, e-mail and its website, access to these is important for all nominees. Except for the Nominations and Elections Committee member, officers elected would meet with other Executive Committee members twice a year, once in the fall, and once in the spring at the CEC Convention (most expenses are reimbursed.) A significant time and leadership commitment is expected from those elected.
