What happens when more than one individual is nominated for the same position?
This is great! We are excited to have multiple parents engaged for a position. At the May general meeting each candidate will be given 3 minutes to explain why they are running for the position, qualifications, and what they intend to do in said position. Candidates must focus on their potential contributions and shall not discuss other candidates they are running against.
Example Scenario:
Example Scenario:
Steve is the current 2023-2024 Treasurer and nominates himself to the Treasurer position for the 2024-2025 school year. This is acceptable as Steve has only served 1 year as Treasurer.
Emily nominates herself as Treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year.
At the May general meeting both Steve and Emily will have 3 minutes to explain why they are the best candidate for the position.
