Ballots Are Out
Thanks to the hard work of our secretary, John James, ballots have been mailed out for next year’s Board of Directors. Please exercise your rights as members by completing and returning them by October 31st. Along with the ballots, you will find a list of candidates and a brief introduction of each person. There is also a space for write-in candidates for each position, and we welcome any interested members to join the race and campaign for a position!
If you can’t run now, but think you might want to next year, please contact us any time – we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have, and we’ll keep you informed when election time roles around again.
You will also notice a space at the bottom of the ballots for comments. Please take time to include any comments, suggestions or concerns. These anonymous comments will be compiled and discussed by the board at upcoming meetings. Where necessary, resolutions or responses will be posted on the communique.
Calling All Members!!!
The KGBA nominating committee is currently accepting volunteers and recommendations for the annual election. Any person holding an individual membership effective as of March 1st is eligible to be a candidate or recommend another for a position.
Thinking about running? Please consider your decision carefully – becoming a board member is a wonderful way to help our Association grow and improve and we want all the help we can get, but it takes time and commitment to make things happen! Directors serve without compensation. The elected term is 1-3 years, with directors spending an average of 5-10 hours a month managing the affairs of the association.
Board members attend monthly board meetings via conference call, take part in various committees and work to promote the Kinder goat in accordance to our bylaws. Specific descriptions of each position can be found at www.kindergoatbreeders.com/bylaws.html
If you would like to volunteer or nominate someone else for a position, please contact us via email at frankenmonk@gmail.com prior to September 20th. Please consider submitting a half-page bio (to be included with ballots) when you express your interest in becoming a candidate.
