IMBA elections
January 31 and February 4
Hey everyone! We made it, it's now time to get ready to cast your vote on who you'd like to see on the Chapter's board. The action committee has decided to forgo the absentee voting this time and make two dates available for you to vote in-person.
Day 1: Tuesday, January 31st from 6PM to 8PM at the nordic shelter, across the street from Muir's parking lot.
Day 2: Saturday, February 4th from 10AM to Noon at the DNR facility. Here's a Google map showing you where the facility is http://g.co/maps/4jw69 .
We will have ballots available for this, where you can mark up to seven (7) people you'd like to vote for. Marking more than seven will disqualify your votes.
At the end of elections on Saturday, February 4th we will tally the votes and let everyone know the results here.
If mother nature graces us with extreme weather during either of these two days, check the site for any updates, as we might have to reschedule.
Nominations are now closed.
The Google doc contains input from the nominees who have chosen to add their thoughts.
