A message from President Bob Pendergrass to all members- Hi Everyone,
Hope you are doing well.
Just a reminder and some info.- Today is the last day of the nominations period of the NCFG Elections. We will accept any nominations sent to Richard Shores by email until midnight tonight if anyone is interested. Contact Richard or myself if you need a nomination form.
Within the next few days we will be asking all nominees, contested or not, for a brief bio. Your bio can include anything about yourself that you like, but should include your idea of what the Guild should do for the membership. Bios can be sent to Richard Shores or myself or both ( we are not seeking re-election).
Once we receive the bios, we will get a ballot together with bio information.
Also to be included on the ballot is an up or down (yes or no) vote to establish a new officer position- membership secretary. If this passes, the position will be added to the by-laws. Because the position must be established before the position can be filled, the newly elected officers can appoint a person for the first term and the following elections can allow for a voter selected person.
You may notice we have a new website. “Thank yous” are in order for Jeffrey Coe with some help from Aaron Kincaid. and legwork by current Webmaster Fred Fogg and Richard Shores. Also many thank yous to Fred for his many years of work as our Webmaster.
NCFG continues to “be” because individuals volunteer time and skills and because we are a membership representative organization, who’s members step up to contribute to the whole. It belongs to you and you to it. Please participate in the elections.
Bob Pendergrass, NCFG President (on the way out)
