The permanent Board of Directors will be comprised of no more than fifteen persons. Each year, five positions on the board rotate off and their positions will be up for vote. Only one family member can serve on the board, or run for an open board position. Each board member may only serve two consecutive terms - or a maximum of six years - and then must vacate the position for at least one year before being eligible to serve on the board for a third time. 

Board candidates do not have to live on the river to be considered for election.
Candidates for election must, however, be interviewed and qualified by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is made up of the Nomination Chairman, committee volunteers, and the retiring members of the current Board.

 

The Nominating Committee will contact the potential nominees for election to determine their individual capabilities and goals for the F.O.R. San Bernard organization and willingness to fulfill the commitments and responsibilities of a board member.

 

The cut off date for nominations is August 18th which allows the Nominating Committee sufficient time to qualify each candidate, and add them to the ballot for the September election.

Now is the time to be thinking of your choice for board nominations. This is YOUR chance to be more involved in F.O.R. San Bernard. If you are interested in serving on the board, or if you know someone who would be interested in serving, submit their name and contact information to the Nominating Committee.

Once all of the candidates are identified, a questionnaire will be sent to them, and based on their answers, a web post will be created, to allow a preview of the qualified candidates. A ballot for the election will be developed, and will be handed out for voting, at the September 6th election. You must be present to vote.

 

Each qualified nominee will be given the opportunity to speak to the audience and tell why they feel they should be elected to serve on the Board of Directors. Those persons obtaining the most votes will become the five new board members.
