[Sig-l] SIG Elections! [Remember to submit names/emails of SIG elected and appointed officers]

[Kathryn La Barre]

Greetings,

Thanks to those SIGs who have already completed your elections. We'll be
checking in during SIG roll call at the Cabinet meeting on Sunday to see
who has completed, and who is conducting their elections (or has open
positions).

Please take a moment to enter your new officers in the following form - so
we can keep sig-l (for elected officers) and the ASIST website up to date:
 http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigofficers.html

For those SIGs who will conduct elections at ASIST please keep the
following in mind:

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.
