NSS BOG Evote - HQ Comm Chair

Postby JeanDeVries » Feb 7, 2010 8:35 pm

The following vote was requested by Birkhimer, Tiderman, Franz, and Devine:

An email vote is deemed necessary to allow time for the Chairman of the Headquarters Commission (HQComm) to establish the HQComm that is to appear before the Board at the BOG Meeting in Cincinnati, OH on April 17, 2010. The main focus of the HQComm during the first and second year will be fundraising via donations, grants, and other available sources. This email vote facilitates the work of HQComm gathering monetary resources, which will ultimately govern the size and scale of this project.

After announcing the vacancy for the position and advertising the position description for the duties of Chairman of the HQComm one resume was received by the President. The resume was received as an application, reviewed by the President and compared to the position description. The candidate John Scheltens was determined highly qualified, available, and capable of completing the project. Mr. Scheltens resume is available for Board review.

Birkhimer moves: John Scheltens is appointed Chairman of the Headquarters Commission. Motion is seconded by Devine.

This email vote will begin today February 4, 2010 and continue for twelve days until February 16, 2010 when it will conclude and the results announced on the NSS website.

President Gordon Birkhimer has asked that the following be posted for him:

As President I have been requested to conduct an official email ballot according to the guidelines established in Act 06-183 Mail Ballots 4-7-01, 8-24-68, 11-16-68 after four members of the Board requested this action, namely Carol Tiderman, Linda Devine, Peri Frantz, and Gary Bush. To be adopted by email, this motion requires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the entire Board of Governors.

This email vote will begin today February 4, 2010 and continue for twelve days until February 16, 2010 when it will conclude and the results announced on the NSS website. At some of the Director’s request the voting period was extended three days for some fact finding until February 19, 2010.

The fifteen day voting period for the official email ballot to appoint John Scheltens as Chairman of the Headquarters Commission has concluded. The two-thirds majority requirement is more stringent than a simple majority vote and twelve yes votes are required. I have the following twelve yes votes:

Bush FOR
Cole FOR
Devine FOR
Franz FOR
Kayes FOR
Keeler FOR
Parvin FOR
Paylor FOR
Shrewsbury FOR
Tiderman FOR
Wheeland FOR
Young FOR

I have the following no votes:

Florea NO
Foote NO
Joop NO

I have the following abstaining vote:

Liebman ABSTAIN

The vote is in favor of appointing John Scheltens as Chairman of the Headquarters Commission.
