A nomination for
the office of Regional Executive opens today.
The duties of the Regional Executive are: The Regional Executive (RE) is the chief
executive officer of the region. The
Regional Executive is generally responsible for the business of the Region and
shall conduct all regional meetings as set forth in Article VII, Section 1.C.1
of the NCCC By-Laws. The RE shall state
how he voted proxies at the last NCCC Governors meeting. On Saturday of the NCCC Governors meeting the
RE shall meet with governors one half hour prior to the National meeting to
inform the East Ohio Region Governors of the previous night’s committee
discussions.
How the nominations
are done: The elected officer shall
assume the preliminary responsibilities of their office immediately and
officially take office on January 1st. The RE is elected in odd years for a two
year term. The regional officers shall
be elected annually at the Regional Meeting just prior to the final NCCC
Governors Meeting of the year. Each club
shall have one vote. Nominations from
the floor will be open for each office at the Regional Meeting prior to the
meeting set for the election of officers.
Nominations will close fifteen (15) days prior to the election. Withdrawals will be accepted by the Secretary
no less than thirty (30) days preceding the election. Person must attend at least two (2) regional
meetings within the last year before putting their name on the ballot for an
office. (Example: your name would go on the ballot in June 2005
so between June 2004 and June 2006 you would have to attend two (2) Regional
meetings.) The Secretary shall
immediately notify each club Governor of any withdrawals or additional
nominations, if all individuals so nominated have withdrawn from a particular
office, nominations for that office will be accepted at the election meeting
and the election of such officer will be held at the next regularly scheduled
NCCC Governors meeting.
The nominations
made today for the next RE are;
Terry Sells
Gail Moore
Chuck Heretta
If there are any
other nominations from a clubs Governor, please submit them to the Regions
Secretary NO LATER THAN September 26, so they may be placed on the ballot,
after that the nominations are closed. Ballots will be mailed to each club
Governors for voting to be turned in on the day of the election. If the a
Governor is not able to attend the meeting on the day of voting the ballot
should be mailed to the Region Secretary to be counted on the day of the
meeting for voting. Otherwise ballots will be collected on the day of the
meeting for the vote to be counted.
The next NCCC
Governor’s Meeting in St. Louis, MO will be held on Saturday, September 14th
and it begins at 12:30pm. If you’re
interested in attending any of the Regional Officers Meetings on Friday night,
you are also welcome to attend those meetings.
The Governor’s Subsidy Program is in effect. If you want to use it, just check with the
Treasurer and he will let you know if your club is eligible to use this
subsidy.
The next Regional
Governor’s Meeting will be Saturday, October 12th, here at the
Geisen Haus at 10:00am.
The National By-Law
Changes coming up to be voted on this year should be posted to the National
Website. I went on last night, but
didn’t find them, so my guess is that they will appear soon since our next
meeting is in September. You might want
to go to this website and check on them.
Alan Moore
suggested the following items;
RECOMMENDATIONS OF
EO REGION MINUTES REVIEW
(1)
In many of the minutes we state “Passed out proposals for
By-Laws/SOP asked governors to review and we will vote at next meeting”. No
Mention of what was new in the handouts, or a copy of the proposal was not
attached to the Minutes as published on the website.
(2)
No attachments to the minutes for any By-Laws, SOP’s or HOF
amendments were placed on the website or attached to minutes..
(3)
No versions of any By-Laws or SOP can be found on the
website including the latest.
(4)
When we talk about an item that we want added or removed
from By-Laws or SOP at a meeting and then pass said revision, there is not
enough info in minutes to see what this was all about.
(5)
Should have a place on the website to store all past and
present By-Laws and SOP’s.
So all Governors can keep up with
these standards.
There are 3 event dates available and were offered
to Corvette Cleveland today. Jim from C.C said he would consult with his club
to see if they want them.
NOTE as of this writing on July 31 Corvette
Cleveland declined to take the dates. They are open if you are interested
please contact Chuck Stevens if your club is interested.
ROUNDTABLE
Members gave status
of their respective clubs and events.
Most clubs have a website; we encourage you to take a look at them for updates
that may not appear on the region website.
