The following is an outline for what could be deemed the mission of the committee:

Composition:

Members shall be selected/appointed by the Board President in the manner provided for in the bylaws. There are three (3) or more members. At least one Board Member should oversee the activities of the committee. Members of the committee will elect the chairman.

Purpose:

To prepare and present an annual slate of candidates to serve as an elected Board of the Association.

Responsibilities:

Make sure that every resident is aware that they can nominate themselves and by that action (to be determined by the committee) have their names entered on the ballot.

Advise potential candidates of the demands of the office they seek prior to commitment to serve.

Prepare a slate of candidates.

Prepare final ballot for distribution to the members.

Assists during the voting process for the election of Board of Directors.

Meetings:

As determined by the committee's work plan.

ELECTION:

Ballots will be distributed to each resident to be used for voting for at least nine Board of Directors. Since the term expires 1 year after the date of the first annual meeting, the term expires October 15th. Thus the Election Ballot should include at least 9 candidates. The election will be held at the Annual Meeting. Since the ballot contains only nine residents, no actual vote needs to be done according to the by-laws. However, when a call for Nominees from the floor occur, and a resident nominates himself, then he/she will be added to the ballot and a vote will then take place. Votes will be counted and the results given to the members in attendance and later published in the Newsletter.
