CLUB's ANNUAL MEETING AND ELECTIONS
HELD ON APRIL 1ST, 2008
The club held its annual Business Meeting at its April 1st meeting and elected the new board and officer, and approved an amendment to the bylaws regarding the nomination process. The President will be—Daniel Cross; Vice-President will be—Jon Cunningham; Secretary will be—Kathy Kirwin; Treasure will be—Leon Cunningham; Board Advisor (appointed position) will be—Jim Griffin. Elected to the board was: Stanley Hamm, Gary Avery, Jim Guy. Jim Griffin will vote in place of Leon Cunningham accept for when Jon is unable to attend a meeting. (SEE MINUTES FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT ELECTION)
The amendment passed then a concern was expressed about lack of discussion. Floor was opened for discussion and a motion to reconsider was made. The hand vote showed 28 for and 12 against. That meant the motion to accept the amendment passed by the required 2/3 majority.
I would like to address some of the concerns expressed. They were very legitimate concerns and I feel a more detail response is in order. The amendment established a more orderly procedure for nominating someone to an Ozarks’ Coin Club Office. It is a effort to move away from the public nomination that can create an atmosphere that either limits people from speaking up or causes nominations to be made that seem to require sides to be taken publicly. It does require the candidates consent, that the candidate must meet the guidelines for office that have been in place for several years, and at least two (seconds) or other members who agree that the individual should be considered for said position.
One of the three nominating the individual needs to have been involved in the club for three years. (This is to try an help insure that at least one of the individuals making the nomination has some historical understanding of the club’s operation and funding. To try and help have nominees that understand the mission of the club and its inter-workings.)
The Nominating Committee is nothing new. The Club has recognized a Nominating Committee and its guidance and recommendations for years. The procedure adopted — just as it has been in the past — would allow the Nominating Committee to nominate others for the office if they feel another candidate is needed. Example: in case there are no nominations for the open position or changes that have to be made at the last minute. Regarding —Background Check — In this day and time we want to try and insure that individuals we have as an officer does not have some area of his life that would raise question if he should be working with children, and/or if his or her character would be a positive or negative attribute for the club in the community. Also without us making some effort in this area the club would have to assume a great liability if an officer was to violate their trust and make any type of advancement toward a youth or fellow club member. It personally saddens me to even thank about this, but we all know that this is becoming a normal concern of our society and any type of question in this area could destroy all the positive work the club does. Sadly there are no guarantees out there, but we must make some type of effort. It is also true that in some case the nominee may be well enough known by the nominating committee that they will feel comfortable putting their stamp of approval on the individual. In other cases they may want to check with others regarding the character and pass of the individual. Regarding time line for nominations. Someone who is going to be an officer of the club needs to have more consideration than a whim during a meeting that so and so would be a good candidate. Some consideration should be given. The Committee needs more than a couple of days to review candidates — they need at least a month. We hold elections in April. In order for a candidate or nominee to be able to express their desire to serve they need some time. That means that the Nominating Committee needs to know the prospective nominees in February so they can give the club membership a slate of candidates by the March meeting. I have went back and looked at the procedures followed by other Numismatic Organization and even some clubs. This process is very similar to other nominating processes. I reviewed Robert’s Rules of Parliamentary Procedure, and this procedure is in agreement with those guidelines.
I really hope this process will end up giving the membership a choice and that we will begin to have more than one person running for an office. That it will allow us to have a civil way to select candidates instead of a spur of a moment nominating process from the floor that seldom seems to create harmony.
Anyone else wishing to comment on this topic in next months paper, needs to submit said article in writing to me by next months meeting. Thanks for your indulgence — Leon
