The MOUG Nominating Committee seeks nominations for the offices of Secretary/Newsletter Editor (a 2-year commitment) and Continuing Education Coordinator (a 2-year commitment).  We will assemble a slate of candidates for an election to be announced at a later time.  Terms of office will begin at the end of the MOUG annual meeting to be held online in February 2022. Below are brief descriptions of each office, paraphrased from the MOUG Bylaws and MOUG Handbook.

Secretary/Newsletter Editor:  The person in this position serves for 2 years.  The Secretary/Newsletter Editor serves as a member of the Executive Board and participates in general supervision of the organization’s affairs.  This person records the minutes of the annual business meeting and the sessions of the Executive Board, and carries out other administrative duties.  Additionally, the Secretary/Newsletter Editor is responsible for publication and distribution of the organization’s tri-annual newsletter.

Continuing Education Coordinator:  The person in this position serves for 2 years.  The Continuing Education Coordinator serves as a member of the Executive Board and participates in general supervision of the organization’s affairs.  This person chairs the Program Committee for the annual meeting, and oversees local arrangements and program planning/implementation for the annual meeting. 

If you would like to nominate someone (including yourself) for either office, or if you would like more information, please e-mail one of the committee members.  For full consideration, please submit nominations by Monday, November 8, 2021.  Nominations received after that date may also be considered.  Candidates for office must be individual members of MOUG in good standing at the time the ballot is distributed.
