Every fall the Team Alameda Board issues a "Call for Candidates". This is that "Call".
What this really means is that we are looking for volunteers to help run the organizational side of our club for the next 2 years. If you have ever given thought to giving back to Team Alameda, or to helping TA improve our club, this is a great way to do that -- and a perfect time to get involved at a new level.
Directors are elected for a 2 year period. Approximately half of our Directors' 2 year term ends each year. Some will run again, others will not. The monthly Board meetings have been reasonably short, often not exceeding 60 to 90 minutes.
It would be great to have some volunteers and new faces step up to fill some pending vacancies! If you are interested, or if you have questions, please contact any of our current Directors, their email addresses are listed under the Contact Us Tab on our website. Don't be shy - volunteer to serve.
The nominating period (read volunteer period) is open and will close on October 30th.
The slate of new candidates shall be presented to the Board at its regular November meeting.
If the number of candidates is equal to or less than the number of open seats at the time the nominating period closes (November 30th), all candidates shall be deemed elected and such result shall be published to the membership without undue delay.
Should there be more candidates than there are open Director seats, the following election process will be followed:
- Voting shall be conducted electronically, with voting instructions e-mailed to all members and posted in an appropriate "members only" section of the website no later than November 15th
- Voting shall take place during the period November 19 - 23 and the results shall be published to the membership not later than November 30th of each year
Specific positions and functions for each Director have been formalized and committed to writing on 09 June 2020. This detailed list has been posted to our website. The job descriptions will give you a fair idea what the various responsibilities entail.
