My original logic in suggesting two VP's was to get more people involved in
the decision making process more than anything else. We really only need
one now that we have become a viable group.

Terry - or whomever takes on this responsibility - please take note that
Article 5 of the by-laws does not specifically state that we shall have two
Vice-Presidents.
Sec. 5.1: The officers of the network shall be an Executive Committee and be
comprised of a President, one or more Vice Presidents, a Secretary, a
Treasurer, and such other temporary officer or officers as the Executive
Committee may from time to time determine.
Sec. 5.6 refers specifically to a Vice-President (singular)
I am just pointing this out as it may mean that by Pratik stepping down we
will only need to nominate and elect a single V.P.

I am sure you are right J
The person who takes this on needs to oversee the process of the election
1. Solicit candidates and if they wish personal statements of
qualification or merit for the office they are seeking
2. Verify that all candidates are members in good standing
3. Provide election information to Sean Keegan for placement on the
website
4. Overseen the in person and electronic election process.
5. Verify that only members votes are tabulated
6. Count the votes and announce the results.
There is probably more but I think this pretty much covers it. Elections
are to be held in conjunction with AHG so time is fairly short.
The offices are
President - Currently occupied by me, and yes I am willing to continue on
Vice President West - Currently occupied by Dan Comden
Vice President East - Currently occupied by Pratik Patel who will not be
seeking reelection
Treasure - Currently occupied by Eileen Berger
Secretary - Currently occupied by Laurie Vasquez

Ron,
Can you say a bit more about what's involved in "overseeing the election
process"? With a bit more detail as to what this entails I bet you'll be
overwhelmed by eager volunteers.

Importance: High
Hear yea, hear yea
It is time to consider the next ATHEN elections which are to be held in
conjunction with the AHG conference next month. We need to do a few things
to make this happen and
I would like an involved and unbiased member of ATHEN to agree to oversee
the elections process this year, but we need to do this quickly since AHG is
fast approaching.
