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.
