[isoc-ny] ISOC-NY elections - call for nominations

[ISOC-NY announcements]

ISOC-NY is a 501(c)3 corporation, chartered by the Internet Society. Under our By-laws we have to hold elections every two years for our various offices and board of directors
 - and are now long overdue.

We decided to change the period of the terms served to match the academic year, with elections taking place in July, and fresh terms beginning on Aug 1
 - the intention being that the changeover would be fully in effect by the start of the Academic year in September.

Now, according to our bylaws, http://isoc-ny.org/wiki/By-laws , the offices are

1. President.
2. Executive Vice-President.
3. Administrative Vice-President.
4. Secretary
5. Assistant Secretary.
6. Treasurer.
7. Assistant Treasurer.

Only the Secretary and Treasurer are permitted to hold more than one position.

There is a minimum of 7 Directors and a maximum of 15 directors.

If you look at http://isoc-ny.org/wiki/Wiki:Community_Portal#ISOC-NY_Officers you'll see we currently have 7 directors.

So... there is plenty of room for new blood and, unless we get over 15 nominations, election should be just a formality.

The officer's roles are clearly defined in the Bylaws. What does it mean if you become a director? Well.. it's hoped that you will attend meetings, 
but more to the point you will be added to the Board listserv, where we hash out the nitty gritty of ISOC-NY activities, and also to the North American Leaders 
regional listserv, where we share thoughts with our fellow USA Chapters in DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Texas, Colorado, SF, and LA. It will give you an inside track 
on launching community projects and events.

So, we are looking for nominations! Self-nominations are fine. Just one thing, please make sure that you are a member of the chapter!
This can be done by going to https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/Home.aspx
and checking your status. If you're not, just join!

Then send your name, with a brief statement saying why you'd be a good director, to mailto:nomcom at isoc-ny.org <http://lists.isoc-ny.org/listinfo.cgi/announce-isoc-ny.org> before midnight Wednesday July 15 2015. 
If you are also interested in standing for one of the offices say so.
