In accordance with the FFI Gulf Coast Council bylaws, elections of board directors are held every three (3) years. The current term ends November 31st of this year. In October, elections will be held for the next term that will serve from December 1st, 2021 through November 31st, 2024.
The Nominating Committee is seeking candidates for the board. The main restrictions are (1) you cannot nominate someone else, (2) you must be an FFI member in good standing, and (3) you must be willing to serve in a functioning capacity (e.g., officer, committee co-chair or member).
Keep in mind that elections are for board membership. Specific positions such as officers and chairs are then voted on and filled by the newly-elected board at their first meeting (usually early December). However, if a candidate for the board would like to be considered for a particular position, the candidate should state that in their resume.
Here is the information each candidate is being asked to submit:
- First and Last Name
- Contact Email & Phone
- A short paragraph about yourself and why you want to serve on the Board as well as what you believe you can bring to the board to serve as an asset.
- Club affiliation (if any).
- A photo that is vertical and high resolution (no sunglasses or poor fish out of water pictures)
The nominating committee will review candidates for qualifications prior to forwarding nominations onward to FFI. The FFI office will then send out ballots to all members of the Gulf Coast Council. Results will be announced in November.
For anyone considering nomination, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact A.J. Rosenbohm. Click here to email A.J..
