Electronic and in-person voting completed and tabulated...
Board of Directors confirmed. Our election meeting was filled with appreciation for past HSC Board of Directors and culminated with a standing ovation for departing President Roger Chassay. There was an electrifying twist to this years election as nominee Janet Emory declines nomination after electronic voting begins and Carl Case steps-in to fill this position. Also, in the race for Publicity Director the club had two nominees: Jim Hall, who was on the ballot from the start, and late comer, Cyndie Cookston.
General Membership override BOD decision...
The General Membership closed the nominations and confirmed all nominee wiith the exception of the Publicity Director. After this confirmation the General Membership proposed to override the Board of Directors decision to exclude members that had voted on the web for voting on the Publicity Director. This was a close vote and difficult for many members as Jim Hall has served our club for many years but the club voted and Cyndie was confirmed as our next Publicity Director. With 8 new directors the club will get much needed new blood while retaining the experience and the corporate knowledge of returning BOD members. I need not articulate that our new BOD members come with long credentials as well as experience... Please welcome our new Huntsville Ski Club Board of Directors. They will begin their official term in office on 1 April 2011...
