| Members in Good Standing – definition | ISSA-UK Members who maintain their Association Membership by payment of annual Association dues as required under the Article VII of the Association’s Bylaws shall be considered in good standing and entitled to full privilege of membership.
Nominees who are not Members in good standing prior to seeking nomination and have not paid annual Association dues before the end of the Nomination period, will not be eligible. |
| Nominations process | Nominations for these positions are now invited (9 October).
A person can nominate himself or herself or another person for a position (no seconder is needed). All those nominated must be full members as defined above in Members in Good Standing. A candidate may only nominate themselves for either the Treasurer or one of the other officer positions (At-Large Officers). A candidate may not stand for more than one position. As stated in the Bylaws of the ISSA-UK Chapter, candidates may, if they wish, seek endorsement from one or more ISSA-UK Board members and should do so at the outset of their nomination not at the end of the nominating period. If a Board member agrees to give endorsements, they may endorse one candidate per position. The eligibility criteria are explained above. If you are a full member in good standing and wish to be nominated, please send the following information to [email protected] before Friday 8 November: • Nominee’s name • The Officer position for which the person is being nominated • A brief one-paragraph biography / statement explaining why the nominee is suitable for the position (~250 words max) • A photograph of the nominee (JPG, ~500 pixels wide max) • Statement of Commitment (all nominees need to submit a new statement of commitment, including members who may be seeking re-election and have signed commitments in the past) |
| Voting process | Voting will commence on Friday 15 November and each member in good standing will be able to vote online. Details of how to vote will be sent to each member.
As with last year, online voting will be set up for each member. Each member will be given a random number and ISSA membership number to ensure they can only vote once. Email notification to all members will be sent out on a regular basis to remind them to vote. If at the end of the Nominations period no positions are contested, meaning that there is not more than one nomination per position, voting will not commence, the results will be announced and the election process will cease. If you have election questions, feedback or want to be removed from the ballot and email list for this election, please contact the Nominating Committee at [email protected]. |
