SARC Election – hybrid meeting 2026-03-10 (RESCHEDULED)
Hello All
To date there are 2 nominations one for President and one for Vice-President. This is not a sufficient number to fill the executive. I am extending the nominations for an additional week to allow more time for everyone to step up to the remaining positions or add to the President and Vice-President roles. For the club to succeed we need more participation from the members to form an executive.
Here are some numbers to consider
We currently have 13 paid members for 2026. There are five who paid up to the end of 2025, and another 22 past members who paid at least once between 2020 and 2024.
The mailing list currently has 63 subscribers. It's not listed in the groups.io directory but is linked from our website at ve3we.org
I realize the mailing list is larger than the paid membership which is fine since we share some common information to others in the Amateur Radio community through the mailing list and welcome interested persons.
For the sake of the club please step up and fulfil the nomination requirements so we can hold an election. Even 4 of the 13 currently paid members will form an executive. Please remember you can nominate yourself which will be validated through the voting process.
The next meeting is now moved to Tuesday March 10th. I will update the nomination count as it changes.
Let's get this going my friends

You can nominate one position at a time so you must use this form 4 times once for each executive position. (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer)
Please contact the person you are nominating to verify they are open to taking the position if elected. Nominations will close half way through the May 3rd meeting. The nominations will be tallied and presented for voting. Each nominee will be given the opportunity to address the meeting before voting begins.
The voting will follow to elect the new board.
The first field selects the position being nominated. The question marks will show the required information for the Nominee and Nominator fields. All the fields are required as indicated by the red *. Please remember you must go through this process again if you wish to nominate for more than one board member position.
Please show your club support by participating in the next meeting and electing a new board to bring this club forward. I wish to thank everyone who has shown a keen interest in bringing a sleeping giant back to life. Your participation at this time is essential and greatly appreciated. By the way I have paid my dues.
Let's do this for a banner 2026.
