Nominations and Elections

Board members are elected for a term of two years on a rotating basis. Elections for Board members are usually held in April of each year for the term beginning July 1. A slate of nominees is presented by the Nominating Subcommittee of the Chorus Committee. Nominations are also accepted from the floor beginning one week prior to the date of elections. Vacancies for officers are filled through special elections when they arise.

In May, by special action of the Board, David Lee was elected a Director to replace outgoing Director Diane Villwock. There were no challenges to these nominations.

Elections 2006

Three Provisional Directors was elected July 25, 2006 The slate included Don Cariss (as Treasurer), Ellen Schloemer, and Brian Wong. On August 1, 2006 Geiselle Thompson was elected Chair of the Chorus Committee and thus automatically became a Board member. On September 19, 2006 Judy Fourie joined the board as our first community (non-singer) representative. At the first symphonic rehearsal on September 25, 2006, the new board members were elected, so the board is no longer considered a provisional board.
