Dear GISMO Member,
GISMO bylaws provide for new elections every two years and so we will be having an election this Fall, 2023. Nominations will be open between October 23rd and November 3rd. We will be voting for all eight Board of Director members and for the position of GISMO President. The President is a voting member of the Board of Directors.
If you wish to run for a position you must be a GISMO member in good standing as of November 3rd. You may self-nominate or be nominated by another GISMO member. All nominees must submit a statement about their candidacy and a picture of themselves for the GISMO website by COB on November 6th.Statements should be no more than 250 words. Members can run for both a Board position and the Presidency, but can only serve in one of those positions should they be elected to both.
If applicable, please send an email with the following form filled out to Amy Jeu (ajeu@hunter.cuny.edu) :
I put myself (____name_________) in nomination for a GISMO Board of Directors position.
I put myself (____name_________) in nomination for the position of GISMO President.
I (______your name______), nominate (_____candidate’s name______) for the position(s) of (_____Board of Directors and/or President_________)
We expect that ballots will go out the week of November 6th and that winners will be announced before the Thanksgiving weekend. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best, Jiin
On behalf of the current GISMO Board: Wendy Dorf, Amy Jeu, Alan Leidner, Elia Machado; Dara Mendeloff, Camille Stewart, Noreen Whysel, Doug Williamson; by Board appointments Treasurer Camille Stewart and Recording Secretary Raychell Velez; and Founder/President Emeritus Jack Eichenbaum
