Once again, it is time for NCNCA to seek nominations and hold elections for next year’s NCNCA Board of Directors. The timeline for the entire process is below. These notes can also be found in the August Minutes, to be posted shortly at ncnca.org.
The first deadline is the nomination period. As a reminder, “NCNCA member” refers to the clubs/teams/organizations. Each entity has a designated representative; it’s ONLY that person who can officially submit nominations. If you think someone would make a great board member, reach out to your representative to get that person nominated.
NCNCA ELECTIONS TIMELINE
Sept 6, 9am – Sept 13, 5pm: Nomination period. Designated representatives from NCNCA member clubs/teams only may submit written nominations to the NCNCA Secretary. Please, include the email address (es) of your nominee(s) in the nomination, so we can contact them. Members may nominate more than one person for the NCNCA Board of Directors.
Email: secretary@ncnca.org
Sept. 14, 9 am – Sept 21, 9 pm: Candidates who have been nominated will be emailed. Those who accept their nomination may submit candidate statements to the NCNCA Secretary. Email: secretary@ncnca.org
Sept. 22: Candidate statements will be announced and posted on ncnca.org.
Sept 26, 9am – Oct 3, 9pm: Online voting period. Each NCNCA Member (reminder: members are clubs or organizations, not individual racers) may cast one vote each for a maximum of nine candidates (up to nine votes total).
Oct. 5: Election results announced.
Oct. 17, 7 pm: The ratification of the votes and the new NCNCA Board will be seated at the October BOD meeting (via Zoom)
**The nine people with the most votes will become the new 2023 NCNCA Board of Directors. If there are fewer than ten candidates, every candidate who receives at least one vote will become a Board Member. The new Board will then commence the election of officers, and begin carrying out their business.
Board members are expected to attend monthly board meetings every third Monday of the month, participate in board activities, such as being active on assigned committees, and generally be involved and up to date with board activities.
