[Sig-l] REMINDER September 15th deadline activities and budgeting reports due! Start your election process this week!!

[Kathryn La Barre]

Greetings,
If your SIG did not apply for the SIG of the Year award your annual
activity report is due on September 15th! You can turn it in via the form
here:

FY15 Budgets are due by September 15th. *You can't spend any funds without
a budget (even for the annual meeting).* Turn it in 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: Start your election process this week by assembling your
nominations committee. 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 - *you should hold your election the week of September 26th!*

Election 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. *
