2020 Report of the CGUS Nominating Committee

Submitted by grantadmin on Sun, 02/23/2020 - 12:47pm

Greetings to the Clan Grant Family: 

   The nomination and election process of Clan Grant-US is underway.  As chair of the Nominating Committee, I would like to fill you in on the details so that you will understand what we are doing to help to find and support excellent leadership for Clan Grant. 

   In order to adhere to the CGUS Bylaws, the following offices are up for election this year: 

  • President 
  • Treasurer 
  • 2 Members-At-Large

   Our timeline is as follows: 

  • Three months prior to the AGM (July 17, 2020) – Nominating Committee reports its slate of nominees to the Secretary 
  • 75 days prior to the AGM (August 3, 2020) - Nominees from the general membership must be submitted to the Secretary.  (Any five Active Members may submit a nomination for any elective office. Such nominations shall be transmitted to the Secretary, in writing, not later than 75 days prior to the AGM. All nominations must show the consent of the nominee.) 
  • 60 days prior to the AGM (August 18, 2020) - Secretary must send a ballot to each CGUS member (either electronically or by regular mail with a return envelope) 
  • 45 days prior to the AGM (September 2, 2020) - All completed ballots must be received by the Secretary 
  • 30 days prior to the AGM (September 17, 2020) - Results of the election (verified by the tellers) are to be presented to the President 
  • 25 days prior to the AGM (September 22, 2020) - The President will notify the candidates of the results of the election. 

   After this election, the next election (which, according to the CGUS Bylaws, are to be held in even-numbered years) will be scheduled for 2022. 

   I hope this article has helped to demonstrate to you how our leadership is selected.  My hope is that many of you will desire to take an active part in working to advance the mission and goals of Clan Grant. 

Remember: IT IS GREAT TO BE A GRANT!
