================= To: OBC-Announcements Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 21:26:21 -0500 Subject: 2017 Annual OBC Membership Poll From: Don Rice

Now that 2016 is in our rear view mirror and 2017 is here to stay, it's once again time for the annual OBC Advisory Committee (OBCAC) membership poll. In order to remain on the active roster, OBC rules require all active members to respond to this poll. It ensures that your membership remains active and we have current valid email addresses. We hope you will remain active in OBC, as well as encourage other prospective OBC members this coming year.

There are three options for your response. You may respond:

Yes ... Please keep me on the active roster of OBC

No ... I do not wish to be active; please place me on the inactive list

No ... I am leaving OBC; please remove me from the group

will keep this poll open for 2 weeks until January 18, 2017. This should afford enough time for all active members to respond.
Members who do not respond will be given a notice prior to the dreaded “further action” being taken, but please respond to cut down the sometimes considerable follow-up efforts.
It is not necessary for inactive members respond, but if you wish to do so it's always nice to hear from you (and it would be great if you decided to return to active duty).

All active members... please RESPOND

directly

me (Don Rice) by sending an email to dkrice@twc.com stating

Yes ... Keep me active!
No ... Make me inactive!
No ... Remove me!
Please include your “real” name in the email to help me figure out who has
Many thanks for keeping OBC alive and well.

I will serve as the election commissioner this year, accepting nominations from February 1 until February 14 for candidates for one (1) non-voting OBCAC Facilitator, seven (7) OBCAC voting members and one (1) alternate voting member. Members shall serve onthe OBCAC for a one-year term, beginning March 1, 2017 until February 28, 2018. Please read the following instructions carefully. You must be nominated by a group member as self-nominations will not be accepted. It is required to have the potential nominee's permission before submitting his name for consideration. A member may be nominated for both the non-voting and voting positions on the ballot. Should any member be elected to both positions, he will only beable to serve in one capacity; the next highest vote getter will be considered elected for the position declined by the top vote getter. Any member of OBC for three (3) years or more is qualified to run for a position on the OBCAC. Inactive members are not allowed to be nominated nor serve on theOBCAC, but are eligible to nominate candidates and vote in the election. Please copy me at jwi62@hotmail.com on the following two emails: 1) the nomination email (which should include the permission to nominate the candidate) from an OBC member nominating a candidate for facilitator and/or voting member with OBC NOMINATION in the subject line. 2) the acceptance email from the nominee accepting the position on the ballot with OBC ACCEPTANCE in the subject line. Important: if the two emails do not satisfy the above requirements, they will not be considered, no exceptions. Once I have received both e-mails, I will contact both parties to confirm the candidate will be on the ballot by responding to the acceptance email. If I do not receive the acceptance email by February 14, it will be understood the person is not interested in running for the position. Voting will begin on February 15 and run through February 28. I will emailinstructions on the 15th and if you have any questions about the elections, please email or call me.
