As we enter the latter portion of our fiscal year, it’s time to assemble our Nominating Committee to help prepare the FY19 Officer Ballot. This is an important but time-limited service to our section and to SWE that has only a few requirements per our bylaws:
- You must be a a voting member of the Society and not be a candidate in the FY19 Officer election.
- Starting toward the end of March, the Committee shall evaluate nominations and present at least one candidate for each office to be included on the ballot. For FY19 we will be electing a President, Executive Vice President, VP of Membership, VP of Outreach, Secretary, and two members of our Investment Committee to serve terms starting July 1, 2018. Our current Treasurer’s 2-year term continues through June 30, 2019, and the Section Representative position is no longer necessary due to the dissolution of Regions vote that occurred at the WE17 Senate meeting.
- The above work must conclude and the candidate slate be presented to the section by April 15.
- The Nomination Committee shall present the ballot to the section and serve as tellers of the election, presenting the results at the end of voting.
We are looking for members to serve on the SWE Dallas nominating committee for FY 19 positions. Each member must not be running for any of the open positions to serve on the committee. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please contact contact Uche Maple@ uchea@hotmail.com by March 9, 2018. Thanks for giving back to Dallas SWE!
If you are interested in running for any of the elected positions listed above, stay tuned for FY19 Officers call for interest and check out our Officer Role Description document.
