Board Elections
- Overview of Election Process - Nancy
- We have 7 returning board members, and ideally we would like to have 12 members, so we will be looking for some new board members for this upcoming term. We have no nominations in advance and are looking for nominations from the floor. You may nominate someone else or you may nominate yourself. We will ask you to give a short introduction and what you will bring to the board and organization. We have 3 board members that need to stand for re-election and we had 2 members join mid-term who will also need to stand for election. So there will be 5 names on the ballot plus any floor nominations
- Nominees on the ballot are: Mike Sacha, Jasmine Farahbakhsh,Talha Zafar, Annya Hundal
Some board housekeeping notes: we typically meet Monday nights, once a month, so if you want to be a part of the board but have immovable Monday night commitments then it might be really tough for you to be on the board, but keep in mind that there will be other opportunities such as committees and other non-shop work that Chris had mentioned earlier
- We would like to thank the contributions of our outgoing board members for fulfilling their terms, Nancy Milakovic, Ali Charkeih, Michael Wilson, Helen Frost, and Mark Husband
- New nominations: There were no advance nominations
- Matthew Hoyt and Rachel Keglowitsch nominated themselves from the floor
- Nominations and Candidate Introductions (1 min each)
- Matthew Hoyt: Chem/Bio degree. Travelled to Amsterdam in 2010 and was impressed by their bike infrastructure. Entered the Navy after high school. Is 6’4”, 220lbs and so he can ride where he wants, when he wants, but bike infrastructure is very important for people like his wife and kids
- Rachel Keglowitsch: was briefly a former EBC board member and hopes to be given the chance to complete her term this time around
