Nomination, Petitions and Election Process
This is a repeat of the disclosure for members on elections under a process adopted under the federal election options in 2004. The Board consists of nine members. Three positions come up for election each year. A three-member Board Nominating Committee is selected each fall. Notification is sent to members interested in being nominated to the Board or being appointed to a committee (presently the Supervisory Committee). The cut-off date this year was in February. No requests for nominations were received. The nominating committee then submitted its nominations to the Board.
Subsequent to the nominations by committee, nominations by petition for vacancies may be made by members with a petition signed by 1% of eligible members, over 18 years of age, with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 500. Petitions should include the signatures and names of members, and be accompanied by a statement of qualifications and relevant biographical information for the nominee. That information must be received by May 14th. When there is only one nominee for each position, there will be no nominations from the floor and no election will be held. Any petitions should be sent to Sierra Pacific FCU Nominations, C/O Doug Gapp, Chair, 5580 Mill Street, Suite 700, Reno, NV 89502.
