| SECTION 1: OFFICER ELIGIBILITY | |
| Corvette Club of Utah (CCU) members will be eligible to run for Officer positions after at least 6 months or more of membership.
The officer eligibility year for attendance will run from October 1st to September 30th. |
|
| SECTION 2: NUMBER OF OFFICERS | |
| The officers of the Club shall be: President, up to three (3) Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Editor, Historian, Membership Chair, Special Events Chair, National Corvette Museum Public Relations Ambassador, and Web Master. They shall serve for one (1) year. | |
| SECTION 3: SELECTION OF OFFICERS | |
| Candidates for office shall be selected and nominated on a voluntary basis. Candidate selections
will be made during the Annual Meeting in October of each year. During that meeting, candidates may volunteer or be nominated
for office. Candidates may provide a brief explanation of their qualifications for the office they seek at the annual meeting. Any candidate for the office of President must have been a member for at least one year with a minimum of fifty percent (50%) attendance at club monthly meetings and club point events and served as an officer in any capacity prior to being nominated for President. Point events are determined by the officers, and are so noted on the web page and in the club's newsletter. Should no prior or current officer accept the nomination for President, this requirement may be waived at the Annual Meeting in favor of the nominated member [ARTICLE IV Section 6]. The Secretary will record the names of the candidates for the various offices during the meeting. Members not able to attend may obtain a list of the candidates on or after that date from the Secretary. Ballots for officers will be cast at the Election Meeting in November of each year. Ballots are to be marked in secret and submitted to the Election Committee at the beginning of the Election Meeting. Voting by proxy or absentee ballots should be mailed or hand delivered to the Election Committee in a sealed envelope marked as a ballot on the outside. The address to mail the ballot will be included on the ballot enclosed with the November/December Corvette Gazette. The Election Committee must receive mailed ballots prior to the Election Meeting in order to be counted. A member may not vote unless his/her dues for the current fiscal year have been paid [ARTICLE III Section 7]. All officers shall be selected by a majority vote of the valid ballots submitted to the Election Committee at the Election Meeting. The flip of a coin shall determine the winner in the event of a tie for any office. In the case of a three or more tie for an office, the winner will be determined by the luck of the draw. A box with slips of paper equal to the number of people tied for the office shall be used. The winner shall be the person that draws the marked slip. In the event that an officer position is vacant, any officer resigns, or an officer becomes unable to hold office before the end of his/her term, the remaining officers shall appoint a member to fill the vacancy of the current term, subject to the approval of the Club by the consenting of two-thirds (2/3) Club majority [ARTICLE IV Section 6]. An officer may be removed from office by the consenting vote of two-thirds (2/3) Club majority [ARTICLE IV Section 6]. All officers are expected to attend monthly officers' meetings in addition to regular Club meetings, and as many events as possible. As officers, however, they are not eligible for the Member of the Year traveling trophy. Officers are encouraged to meet and greet new members, guests, and established CCU members at events and meetings. |
|
| SECTION 4: ELECTION COMMITTEE | |
| The Election Committee shall consist of one non-running or past officer and two (2) members. The officer and members will be appointed by the majority of the current officers with the consent of the members [ARTICLE IV Section 6]. This shall be done at the Annual Meeting. | |
