All current KGBA members should be receiving election ballots in the mail this week. If your membership is current and you do not receive a ballot, please contact sue@jabeck.com.
We have an amazing group of people running for office again this year! All of our volunteers (for the board, the newsletter and our many other ongoing projects) are extremely dedicated to improving the Association for our members and their goats, but we are always looking for more volunteers. If you think you might be interested in joining a committee or running for the board in the future, please contact us!
We look forward to hearing from everyone in the Association, so this year we have included a “comment” section at the bottom of the ballot – we want to know what we can do to make things better for you! Just remember – ballots must be postmarked by September 30th in order to be counted in the election.
Election results will be posted as soon as they are available. Thank you all for your participation!
Sue Beck
KGBA President
Have you ever considered running for a position on the KGBA board? If so, now is the time!
The KGBA nominating committee is currently accepting volunteers and recommendations for the annual September election. Any person holding an individual membership effective as of March 1stis 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 August 20th. Please consider submitting a half-page bio (to be included with ballots) when you express your interest in becoming a candidate.
We look forward to hearing from you!
By now, most KGBA members should have received their ballots in the mail, and we encourage you to vote!
Two current Board members have decided not to run for another year due to their many other responsibilities and commitments. Lisa Lamm, Lisa Naumann and Carla Durham have been incredibly positive, dedicated members of the board and have contributed immensely to the ongoing success of our association. Thank you, Ladies – we will miss you!
Luckily, we have some outstanding new candidates running for open positions on the board. Below are brief bios on each candidate. I encourage you to read them and get to know a bit about all of us.
While nominations are now closed, all members are still welcome to run if they so choose by simply announcing their intent to run and asking their supporters to add them as a write in candidate on the appropriate line. Please take this opportunity to support your association and voice your opinions – we welcome anonymous notes with your ballots and will read and consider them at a future board meeting.
Thank you all for you participation!
