Okay, Jay has respectfully declined his nominations for both VP and Treasurer/Secretary due to him not having enough time to put into the position. Also, Chris Oyler has stated that he would take that position if no one else was nominated, but that he would rather not take the position due to him lacking the extra time to put in as well. Does anyone have a person that they would like to nominate for Treasurer/Secretary that they think has the extra time, and would do a good job? Also if you think you are the person for the job do not hesitate to ask someone else to nominate you. It is just that nominations close on the 30th (Wednesday), and if no one else is nominated then Chris Oyler will most likely still assume the position as he stated he would, but if there is anyone who has the time, and wished to become more active in the chapter then this is their chance to step up to the plate.

Being a contributing member of an offroad club sometimes takes more than just showing up to events, or padding your post count on the forum. There is actual work involved to keep this organization up and running. I am not saying that position is for everyone, but there has to be someone who wants to step up and be more active, and commit some time to the organization.

I am not running this year. I have way too much on my plate.

I have way too much on my plate too, I am on a diet, LOL.

 

[x2elite]

I am going to assume that means you decline the nomination? If so I guess that means that Chris is going to be stuck with it for another year.

 

[x2elite]

It is amazing how so many people want to see the chapter grow, but no one has any desire to put themself in a position to be able to do something about it.

 

[Ecomike]

Just out of curiousity, I see that the bylaws provide for 5 BOD members, but all I ever are 3, 3 who are also the 4 officers called for in the bylaws.

Whats up with that?
