The election is over and Murray and I counted and confirmed the ballots. Congratulations to Brian Onigkeit who will serve on the executive board for two years.
On behalf of the current e-board I want to thank both Chris and Brian for stepping up and being willing to serve our membership. I also would like to thank all of you for voting and helping with the process.
If there is anything that you can think of that will help with elections in the future, please send me an e-mail. We will use this feedback to update our current policy. There are three things that we have already identified and may implement after discussion:
1) Provide and explanation of the position that is open and what duties are expected of those running.
2) Have the candidates send out a brief paragraph on why they are running and what they hope to accomplish.
3) Provide a way for crews or individuals to seal their votes to keep the ballots more secure.
This years St. Patricks day is scheduled for Saturday March 17th, 2012. The details are still being worked out, but once again it appears that the Local and the Terry Fund may be teaming up again this year since last years event was such a huge success.
As always we will march in Class A's prior to the festivities.
