Nope, not that election.  Ours is much more simpler.  Or is it?!

The 2008 TriWisconsin Officers election is currently under way.  Nominations are now open for all positions.  Unlike the previous years, you do not need to nominate for a particular position.  The mechanics of the election this year, as allowed by the ammended bylaws in 2007,  calls for electing 7 officials.  Once the general membership has voted the top 7 will convene to decide between themselves who gets the titles (pres, vice pres, secretary, treasurer, directors).

September:  Nominations are open.  If you would like to nominate yourself, please send me an email with a single paragraph to describe your campaign.

October 15th:  Nominations close.

end of October:  The election will be held at the EOY party. 

mid-November: Announcement of the winners .

early December:  Board meeting includes both 2008 and 2009 officers.

What do officers do?!  We do a ton...a lof of organization skills would come in handy if you plan on being an elected TriWisconsin officer.
