[Acm-announce] REMINDER: SIGNUP FOR ELECTIONS

[Thomas Phillips]

So far only 2 people are signed up. If you are interested in running please
fill in this form! You have until this Wednesday! (I think our plan is to
post the results of this form after the form has closed).

Additional info you may need includes preparing a speech (just a few
minutes should be fine) about how you have been involved in ACM and how
being elected would help benefit ACM. The general format for elections is
we call up the candidates for a specific position, they give their speech,
the audience will ask questions and candidates will answer. After that, the
candidates step outside while the audience discusses any additional
comments (good or bad) then vote. Generally elections are one of our LONGER
meetings, ideally I would like to spend 2 hours MAX after Stump the Profs
(30 minutes for each position).

Reading the by-laws is definitely a good thing to do. Keep in mind you need
to be a National ACM Member in order to be an officer (if you aren't you
can still run, but if elected you MUST sign up). Also, only current
ACM at UICChapter Members will be eligible to vote. There will be a
check-in the day
of elections and if you want to vote still we will be taking membership
dues the day of as well.

And just to address it, since some people seem to distrust my methods, I
will not be mediating elections, Walter has volunteered to be mediator
since he will not be running this year. I just got the initial form and
email out the door. That being said, Walter also has access to the
responses and is monitoring them.

Lastly, a follow-up meeting regarding committees is likely to happen, but
not this Thursday.
