fromtheboard 13 vie for MOA Board positions


WE HAVE HAD A VERY GOOD response from our membership, and thirteen candidates have their paper- work and are running for the four open board positions. Thank you to everyone who stepped forward, toss- ing your hat in the ring and being a part of this very important process leading to the selection of who will represent us all on the BMW MOA Board of Directors. All candidates are running for the


office of Director. You now have the opportunity to choose which four candidates will serve on our board of directors for the next three years. Once the new board has been seated, they will elect the officers from among the directors. There will be a special election


forum in the Clubhouse area for members to ask the


candidates


questions about their outlook on the BMW MOA, the issues we face, and what their stand would be. Note: You must be logged in as a member to see the Clubhouse sec- tion in the Club area of our forum. Please take a moment to read the guidelines for election forum use that will be posted at the top of the election forum. If you are having any problems accessing or posting to the forum, please contact


the BMW MOA


Office for assistance either by phone (864- 438-0962) or by email at webmaster@bmw- moa.org. The top two reasons I hear for not voting


are (1) one doesn’t know the candidates and (2) there is no choice. Our candidates are giving us a wide geographical representa- tion; chances are you know one or more of them. As for choice, you have lots of choices. What’s next? Get comfortable, read over


each candidate’s position statement, check out the Election Forum (at least lurk if you


don’t have any questions), become part of the process and get ‘er done. As Secretary of the BMW MOA, along with Tom Buttars, Chair of the Candidate Search Committee, I ask that you participate in the 2016 Elec- tion by filling out the ballot inserted after the candidate position statements in this issue of BMW ON and mail it. Your ballot has to be postmarked before April 30 and received by May 10, 2016 to be counted. I would like to thank Tom Buttars, Don


Hamlin, and Dave Swider for their service on the 2016 Candidate Search Committee. They put a lot of time and effort into gath- ering packets, validating them and present- ing them in the proper format for publication. VOTE NOW! Thanks for being a Member,


Muriel Farrington, BMW MOA Secretary Tom Buttars, 2016 Candidate Search Committee Chair
