Information on Chapter Executive Committee offices and elections.

Any member of the chapter may express an interest to stand for election to a two-year term of service on the Executive Committee (ExCom). The ExCom is responsible for financial management, membership services, production of publications, and conservation, outings and political programs. The ExCom meets three times a year. Occasional conference calls and frequent e-mail communication are among the various duties and expectations of this position.

As early as practical in the first quarter of the year the ExCom receives the report of the Election Committee and seats new officers for the year (Chair, Vice-Chair, Council Delegate, Council Alternate, Conservation Chair).

This is a call for candidates for ExCom and election schedule. Interest in standing for election may be communicated to any current ExCom member, either as a self-nomination or by nominating someone who has given consent. The Nominating Committee will review all requests for consideration and make recommendations as to which nominees shall be placed on the annual ballot. Should the NomCom fail to act favorably on a request, upon submission of 15 signatures of Chapter members in good standing, the name shall be added to the ballot as a petition candidate.

At the early summer ExCom meeting, the Nominating and Elections Committees (at least three persons, at least one not an ExCom member – no candidates may serve on these committees) and their Chairs shall be determined. The deadline for receipt of names and candidate or issue petitions by NomCom is the second Friday in July, 5pm Pacific Time. The NomCom report of candidate names for the ballot shall be delivered at the autumn ExCom meeting which has often been held near Riggins, Idaho, and the expectation is that there will be at least two more candidates than positions.

Deadline for receipt of candidate statements to be published with the ballot shall be the third Friday in October, 5pm Pacific Time, delivered to the Chair of the Elections Committee. The winter issue of Ridgelines shall contain the candidate statements and ballot. Deadline for receipt of ballots is the first Friday in January, 5pm Pacific Time, Sierra Club office in Boise.

The Election Committee meets to count the ballots on the day after the deadline for ballot receipt, 6pm Pacific Time, Sierra Club office in Boise.
