[wplug-members] WPLUG 2008 Board of Directors Election 2nd Ballot

[Vance Kochenderfer]

A second round of balloting is necessary to complete the election begun at
the October 4, 2008 annual meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users
Group.  Four individuals were elected to the Board of Directors at that
meeting, but the fifth seat was not filled.

The purpose of this ballot is to fill the one remaining seat.  Four of the
members nominated were elected at the annual meeting: Mathieu Dube, Vance
Kochenderfer, David Kraus, and Michael Semcheski.  One additional nominee
who appeared on the previous ballot, Bill Moran, has withdrawn and no
longer wishes to be listed.

This second ballot, therefore, consists entirely of write-in spaces.  The
ballot is attached to this message and may also be downloaded from the
wiki at <http://www.wplug.org/w/index.php/Image:2008_11_WPLUG_Ballot.pdf>.
While there are no formal nominees, the following members have expressed
their interest in being write-in candidates:
  Brian Seklecki
  Robert Turley

You may vote for either or both of these by writing their names in the
space provided and giving each a numerical rating as described in the
ballot instructions.  Writing in both names, then assigning ratings
according to your preference, will help ensure that someone is elected.
You may of course write in other names, but only persons who are members
on November 22, 2008 may be elected.

If no one is elected at the November meeting, then a third round of
balloting will be needed.  By filling out your ballot correctly, and by
listing all those individuals whom you think would adequately serve on the
Board, you can help ensure that a final result is obtained at the November
meeting.

The meeting begins at 10:00 AM on Saturday, November 22, 2008 at the
Wilkins School Community Center, and the polls will close shortly after
the meeting starts.  You may send your ballot in by mail or bring it in
person.  Either way, your ballot must be received before the polls close
in order to be counted.
