HI everyone!
Just as a reminder at our Spring business meeting (takes place at the end of the MACRAO meeting) we will need to elect a new President-Elect aka as Vice President (according to the Bylaws). The President-Elect is a three year term which starts July 2016. For those who are interested in the details, I’ve attached the MACRAO bylaws and Article IV and V discuss the roles of MACRAO leadership. However as a general summary responsibilities include:
· During the first year, they serve as President-Elect and help plan and organize the meeting.
· In the second year, they serve as President and run the Fall/Spring meetings as well as respond to issues/questions effecting MACRAO as a whole; serving on and/or leading workgroups as needed to address MACRAO issues. They (or there designee) may represent the MACRAO group at an annual regional or national conferences they attend (see bylaws for more specifics)
· In the third year, the position transitions to Immediate Past President who serves as an advisor to the MACRAO leadership team.
As of July 1, 2016 your 2016-17 MACRAO Leadership Team will be
President-Elect: To be elected
President: Kristi Peterson
Past-President: Charity Walters
Treasurer: Leslie Dickerson
Make sure to consider nominations as we get ready for our spring elections (and yes you can nominate yourself!) We will call for nominations and an election during the business portion of the spring meeting.
As always please let us know if you have any questions.
