Sorba Middle Tennessee Elections

Hey folks, it's that time of year again where we are conduting our annual Sorba Board Elections. The plan is as follows:

Nominations begin today through Oct. 18th. Any member of Sorba is eligible to run for any office available. If you are interested in a position and want to run for it please email Kelly at president@sorbamidtn.org and I will add your name to the list at the bottom of this post. Once all the nominations are taken I will post up and email a list of candidate's to the members for a vote.

The vote will actually take place between Oct. 19th and November 6th. A members vote will need to be submitted to me via email also at president@sorbamidtn.org. The new board members will be announced on November 7th, 2009.

We will then be having a "General Membership" meeting on November 10, 2009 from 6-8pm at REI in Brentwood. Anyone is encouraged to attend whether a member or not. This is one of 4 meetings a year we open up to everyone to come and let us know what your thinking. At that meeting, the new board will be sworn into place and begin their leadership of the club through 2010.

The following positions are available and these are the people who are nominated so far. If anyone would like to run for any of these positions please email me and we will add your name to the list.

President: Bob Slayden
Vice President: Carolyn Heichel
Secretary: Greg Lawrence
Communications: Rick Kimmel
Membership: Scott Walvoord
Trails (East): Darryl Glascock

Thanks to all who have volunteered to run for a position as the club will not function without those who are willing to step up and lead. Also, a big thanks to those who served last year and will continue to be a part of the club in the future.
