Call For Director Nominations

[Flatwater Falconer]

Hello All,

It's getting to be that time of year when your CS begins putting together the Call for Director Nominations packet. I am readying this and it will be in the mail within the next few weeks. There will be a complete page of details for nominations plus a return-by-mail form.

If you would like to serve the Association as a member of the board please consider running for one of the Director positions. It is perfectly fine to put your own name into the hat.

As your CS I am charged with securing candidates for each directorate. Multiple candidates for each area is my goal. After all one 'choice' isn't really a choice is it? (Though if your director is doing a super job that's not a bad thing.)

So here's a heads-up - I will be looking for nominations for the following regions and one Director-At-Large:

South Pacific
Mountain
Great Lakes
Canada
Director-At-Large

Please note: this is a courtesy notice only. Wait for the mailing to arrive to utilize the instructions and accompanying form.

If you wish to view the nomination instructions immediately you can find this in the member area of the Association web site. The information posted is from last year but I will change this shortly. The basic details should remain the same. (www.n-a-f-a.com)

Thank you from your North American Falconers Association Corresponding Secretary.

One final thought - if you haven't renewed yet or wish to become a member and get involved please let me know. I will assist you with this so you may participate in the upcoming election.

All the best,

Well so far, we have nominations for Ralph Rogers, Daryl Perkins and Ron Clarke for the upcoming DAL position. I think the deadline to get nominations in is June 6. Whom is the best person that you know to move falconry in the right direction? Will there be anymore nominations?

[Ron Clarke]

The deadline for nominations is midnight on 5 June, 2010, so don't wait if you want to step up or if someone you'd like to nominate is interested in running. If you'd rather not jump into the arena yourself, be sure to at least let the candidates know what you want from NAFA and what you want to see for falconry in the future.

Thanks for the correction Ron! I also want to encourage NAFAX members to join NAFA in time to vote in the upcoming elections! Members here are among the best informed falconers anywhere and we can have a major impact on this and all elections. If you are less than satisfied, or feel that recent small improvements don't address the past problems within the NAFA board, here is your chance to help make a change.

Last I looked we still had no nomination for Mountain Director and it would be great to not see the Canadian Director, Mark Williams run unopposed. So what happens if there are no nominations for a directorship? Does the board fill the open position?

[Saluqi]

Come on Jeff, you should run for mountain director. No time like the present!

[sharptail]

As much as I might like too, I can't. I have heard that you have been asked to run, what do you say?
