Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society

And the winners are……..

“What’s this?” you ask, another award ceremony where Hollywood parties and then pats themselves on the back? No, it’s what will be announced at the March, Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society General Meeting after our annual SVAS elections. Every March at the General Meeting the Members vote for and elect all the Officers and a portion of the Directors who serve on the Board of Directors of the SVAS. The Nominating Committee, consisting of Chairperson, Nerissa Adams, and members Mary Woodward, and Perry P. Porter turned in to the Board at the January Meeting the “Slate” of recommended candidates to be placed on the March Ballot.

OK, wait, calm down, you can also be placed on the Ballot for any SVAS Board position, if you wish. If you were a member in good standing as of the January General Meeting, all you need to do…
Copied from the SVAS Special Rules of Order,
SVAS Special Rule Concerning Nomination and Election Procedures Approved October 14, 2004;
Members may submit additional nominations by written petition signed by 3 members. Such petitions may be submitted to the Board or the Secretary at the January General Meeting or anytime afterward until March 1st. Nominations will close at midnight on March 1st so that the final ballot can be prepared prior to the election. However, nominations can be reopened on the floor on election night by a majority vote of the membership.

You can read the complete Elections Procedures on our web-site under; about, governing documents, special rules of order.

All Candidates and Endorsers must be SVAS Members in good standing as of the January General Meeting. The same rule also applies to those who want to vote in the election.

If you are limited on the number of meetings you are able to attend each year, I am asking you to make the MARCH Meeting one of them, so you can cast your vote and build the SVAS Board that you want to guide YOUR Society into the future.
