Elections


By Sue Plummer Taylor, CEO, Meritage Concepts

Just when you thought you had seen your last election ad of the year, the Software Council Board of Directors election is set to begin. But there are no negative ads or dirt to scoop in this election. After taking recommendations from the membership and individual members expressing interest, this year's nominating committee has selected an impressive slate of candidates for the open seats of this 2003 Board of Directors election.

The Software Council's Board of Directors consists of seventeen members: one representative from each of the four chapters and thirteen elected members. Elected Board members serve two-year terms up to a maximum of three terms and this year we have six seats up for election. To ensure that the Board continues to be representative of the industry it serves, our charter allows no more than one-third of the elected seats to be held by associate members representing the supporting service providers. Of the six seats in this election, at least four positions must be filled by industry members.

To make it even easier than ever for you to vote, this year members will be able to vote via an electronic mail ballot. Members, please watch your email or fax around November 8, 2002, and get your votes in by the November 22, 2002 election deadline.

This is also a great time of year to extend our appreciation to a very important Board member who will be leaving at the end of this year. On behalf of the executive committee, I'd like to recognize and appreciate the indomitable efforts of Jerry Skillet, our 2002 Chairman of the Board. For the past seven years, Jerry has diligently served on the Board of Directors. He stepped in and invested an enormous amount of time and effort to promote the goals and ensure the success of the Council. Jerry, I extend my personal thanks to you; you're a tough act to follow.

While I'm on the subject of giving thanks, please join me in recognizing the tireless efforts and dedication of the entire Software Council staff and each of our volunteers who help promote and facilitate the success of Southern California's information technology community.
