[Sig-l] Reminder September 15th deadline for SIG budgets and annual activity reports. Start planning for elections!!

[Kathryn La Barre]

Quick reminder:

If your SIG hasn't turned in your annual report - please note that it is
due on September 15th. You can turn it in via the form here:

Budgets are due by September 15th as well via this form:
http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigbudgetform.html

FUND NOTICE: If your SIG has FY14 allocation funds remaining - please be
sure to spend these by September 30th. They can no longer be rolled over!
Unspent allocation funds are forfeit (NOTE: your earned income will remain
in your account from year to year).

ELECTIONS: Be thinking ahead to SIG elections! Most SIGs have only two
elected positions - chair and chair elect. The rest are appointed
positions. Please don't hesitate to ask any members of the SIG cabinet if
you have questions or concerns about SIG elections!

Recommended protocol is as follows:

*Nominations eight weeks prior to the annual meeting (Week of September
8th)*

Candidates for SIG officers should be nominated by a standing committee
consisting of the SIG chair and two other SIG members appointed by the
chair. The committee should prepare the ballot, with at least two nominees
for each office to be filled. Nominations from the membership should be
encouraged, but must follow the procedures outlined in the SIG's bylaws.
Generally, these rules require that names be submitted by petition signed
by at least ten members of the SIG and received by the chair at least eight
weeks prior to the SIG's annual planning meeting.


*Elections 6 weeks prior to the annual meeting (Week of September 26th)*

All SIGs should hold their elections at least six weeks prior to the annual
SIG planning meetings, which are held in conjunction with the ASIS Annual
Meeting. Early elections provide new officers the opportunity to begin
generating ideas for the following year and to make necessary plans to
assure their attendance at the all-important planning meeting.
