This year I would like to coordinate the election and recruitment of new persons on the
Academic Community Management Team. The following information is useful to
persons supporting this initiative and interested in running for office.
At this time the Academic Community doesn't have a set of bylaws. But
we should have them, and they should help us with the continuity from one
management team to another. The creation and ratification of these bylaws
this year, leading up to elections late next Spring, will be one of the
initiatives I will work on this year.
- Elections are mandated by STC policies
- Elected managers agree to serve at least two years
- Elected managers agree to pass along all information
to incoming managers
- All members of the management team are expected to
attend the annual conference and will receive a $250 conference attendance
stipend
- Elections will be held in April, 2008
- Persons may self nominate
- Elections will follow the as-of-yet unwritten bylaws
of the community
Elections in the STC usually are handled by a Nomination Committee. I
will follow that process this year and have asked for volunteers to serve on
that committee.
