Moving On

It's been a bit of a mystery to me exactly why I'm still on the board of the GCA. More precisely, no one could remember when I was first elected and therefore no one could figure out when exactly my term would end. In effect, I've been drifting on in this board role for years with no clear end in sight.

Apathy on the exact term length --by both the membership and me-- apparently seems to let things to pretty far. I'm also taking it as a respectable sign that I haven't done anything especially egregious that people are seeking to vote me out of office or displace me by running another candidate.

Anyway...

Michael Maltenfort was digging into the GCA by-laws on an unrelated matter and he happened to point out in email to the overall board the elections clause: The president, treasurer and IAGSDC delegate are elected in odd years while vice-president, secretary and alternate IAGSDC delegate are elected in even years. Oops.

I first joined the board in August of 2004, replacing the late Eric Calimag of Chicago. I finished his term as IAGSDC delegate, then was re-elected in 2005. rlegters became the IAGSDC delegate in 2007 and I became the alternate delegate --and have been ever since although I can't remember any subsequent re-election for my own office.

Until an hour ago, I thought my term would expire this month and I'd be free. According to the by-laws, my position isn't up for a vote until next year. Checking further into the by-laws though, there is a clause on term limits: no officer can be in the same office for more than two consecutive terms.

I've sent my notice to the board informing them that I'm outta here next week. I recommended they seek a volunteer to take the position until 2012 when they can be elected for a regular term, synchronizing once again with the by-laws. After nearly seven years on the board, I think I've done my part.

Since rlegters can't attend next week's IAGSDC delegates meeting, I'll be making the GCA reports in his stead. Since no one from the Chesapeake Squares was willing, kent4str will be their voting delegate. Fun.

Separated at Birth?

I can't keep a straight face watching the occasional Dairy Queen commercial on television since I made the mental connection. Watching pr0n has taken on an additional cool chocolately flavour as well..
