NSP Board Election Information
NSP Board Election Information from the Patroller Committee 2007-GET OUT THE VOTE- 2007
Within the next few days, as an NSP member you will have the opportunity to vote for four new members of your Board of Directors. This year's election will run from October 15 through December 1, 2007. Sixteen candidates are running for four BOD seats.
Voting in this year's election is entirely electronic via the VoteNet process. If you have a registered email address with the National Office, you will receive an email with voting instructions. If you do not have a registered email address, or if you have not received an email by October 17, go to http://www.nsp.org for further instructions. In the past 2 BOD elections the Patroller Committee (PC) has performed due diligence and endorsed candidates who support members' rights. Based on our research this year, all sixteen candidates qualify as member advocates.
Prior to commencement of the nomination process, the BOD developed a "List of Needs" for use in evaluating prospective BOD candidates. The entire list may be viewed on the nsp website. Based on PC analysis, three particular skill sets are the highest priority needs of the BOD:
- Strong organizational and planning skills;
- Financial management and/or CPA background;
- Time availability to do the work of the BOD.
Detailed information on each candidate is available on http://www.nsp.org . All 16 candidates are qualified to serve on the NSP BOD and the Patroller Committee recommends that all members go to the website and read each Candidate's Application and Platform Statement. Then vote!
Only two and one half years ago, the NSP membership did not have the right to choose our BOD members from a diverse, qualified slate. Please exercise your right to vote, and encourage your friends and fellow patrollers to take an active role in this election. Thanks! It makes a difference!
