NOMINATIONS.jpg

Hello MARSH Supporting Members, The time has come to nominate and elect the Board of Directors and Officers for the 2021-2022 year.

Applications to run will close May 6, 2021 at 23:55. If you are interested in running for a board position you must apply HERE.

When applying/running for a position please keep in mind the By-Law requirements in Section 7.01: LINK TO BI-LAWS

Elections will held on May 13, 2021 by electronic vote if enough candidates apply and it is required.

Bio's of current applicants can be viewed HERE by supporting members.


A few important things to note if you would like to run for the BoD:

• These are volunteer positions so no pay.

• If you want to volunteer, please only do so if you are willing to make meetings and help. We need people that are interested in helping to improve our community.

Please evaluate your personal lives before applying. The BoD's put in a lot of hard work in the evenings and weekends (sometimes even at work!) to make MARSH an awesome club. If you have many other activities that consume your time, you travel for work, you just want a blue name on MARSH, you have some life changing events coming up, etc. PLEASE do NOT run for the BoD.

If you just want to help out but don’t have the time to dedicate to being on the BoD, we are always looking for volunteers at events.


• Responsibilities Include:
1. Prioritizing attending all meetings and events.
2. Submit or contributing to a minimum of 2 activities that they would like to organize & execute.
3. Adopting sponsoring fish stores in their area and representing MARSH at the store.
4. Actively helping the officers make Reef Currents a successful show

According to the bylaws, directors are elected for 2 year terms, and only 3 per year (staggered terms). Are three of the current directors staying on, leaving only 3 vacancies?

From the link you just posted...
"h. Directors shall be elected in staggered terms, three in even numbered years, and three in odd
numbered years, and shall assume their official duties following the close of the election meeting
serving for a term of two (2) years."
