From elections at baylisa.org Tue Oct 3 23:04:08 2006 From: elections at baylisa.org (BayLISA Election Staff) Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 23:04:08 -0700 (PDT) Subject: BayLISA Elections : Call for candidate statements Message-ID: <200610040604.k94648bf025176@www.baylisa.org> Hi all, Every year we hold elections for positions on the BayLISA board of directors. This year is no exception and voting will occur in November. A further email will be sent shortly with voting details. The purpose of thie email is to solicit statements from those of you who may be interested in running for board. As we've mentioned in the past, it's a great experience, looks good on the resume, and teaches you skills and discipline not always found in everyday sysadmin work. This year there are two seats open for election. To be a BayLISA board member all you need is to be a member in good standing of the organization (you can join anytime up to election evening if you want to run/vote, see http://www.baylisa.org/members/join.shtml), and to stand for election and be elected by your peers. We urge everyone to think about doing this. It takes very little of your time; one evening a month (board meeting) and maybe a few hours of cumulative time on top of that, plus of course the general meeting if you choose to attend in a given month. What we need from you at this point, to get your name on the ballot, is a short candidate statement. Up to three or four paragraphs is plenty. You should email this statement to baylisa at baylisa.org, so that everyone knows who you are and why they should vote for you. Quite simple really. We will also be posting the candidate statements on the website prior to election night. Please, support BayLISA, it really is worthwhile. Thanks, Election Staff
