Hi All

I have not heard from ANYONE about running for director in the even 
districts.  Please read the message below and get a message to me if you 
would like to become or keep your district director position.

The Tampa hamfest is only one week away and we will be having a board 
meeting along with the FADCA forum. Please try and make both of these 
meetings if you can.

Please put this message out on packet Please snip the message from just 
below the asterisks keeping the message intact so we don't have any dupes 
of it. The below message does have a NEW bid on it so it can be ported over 
to packet as many times is it gets done and there will only be one message 
on packet.

FADCA Elect of directors in even districts

Hi All

Well here is your chance to become a FADCA Director. If you live in the 
EVEN numbered districts

District 2 - Broward, Martin and Palm Beach Counties

District 4 - DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, 
Pinellas and Polk Counties.

Then you can run for the office of Director for your area. Below is all 
that you have to do to get your name on the list.
    * The Board of Directors shall be responsible for administering FADCA's 
activities in accordance with the needs of the membership subject to the 
responsibilities and restrictions contained in these By-Laws and FADCA's 
Coordination Policy.
    * Election of Directors

a)       The term for a Director of the Board will be for two (2) 
years.  An election of eligible members of the Board will be held each 
January.   The odd-numbered Districts will elect in the odd numbered years, 
while the even numbered Districts will elect in even numbered years.

b)       Each candidate for Director who wishes to be considered for 
election shall submit a nominating petition stating the candidate's name, 
callsign, and the District in which he is a candidate.  The Director must 
reside within the District in which he is a candidate.  This petition shall 
be signed by the candidate.  Additionally, there shall be five (5) other 
signatures and callsigns representing FADCA members in good standing within 
the same FADCA District who support the nomination of the petitioning 
candidate.  These additional signatures may be on the same or separate 
documents providing the nominating petition is submitted with all the 
required names and signatures in one package.

c)       The completed nominating petition must be submitted to the 
Secretary of  FADCA no later than November 30, immediately prior to the 
scheduled election.

d)       Nominees must be bona fide licensed amateur radio operators with 
interest in maintaining a cohesive and organized structure to the amateur 
spectrum utilization plan set by FADCA's Coordination Policy.

e)       Only one Director shall be elected for each District.  Ballots 
will be sent to each member in good standing and should be returned to the 
Secretary.  The Secretary shall have the ballots counted in such a way as 
to assure fairness.  The winner of the election of each District shall be 
decided by plurality.

f)        In the event that no nominating petitions are received from a 
District in the time frame required in the year scheduled for the election 
of it's director, then the President shall present the name of a qualified 
member from that District for election by the Board at the next Annual Meeting.

g)       Newly elected board members shall take office at the beginning of 
the board meeting when the election results have been tabulated and the 
election certified.
    * In the event a Director is unable to complete his/her term for any 
reason, the President shall appoint a temporary Director who will serve 
until the next scheduled district election is to be held.

  Well that is about it so get yourself in gear and lets get the nominating 
petition to bud N0IA.
You also need to be a member in good standing to hold any office in FADCA

It would be GREAT if we had several people from each area that wanted to 
get involved and run for the position. I would love to see a FADCA campaign 
once again.

If you know of anyone that isn't on this list that would like to put their 
name in the hat then please get this message to them.

73, Bill N4XEO
  President and District 3 Director FADCA
