2007 Cyclones Board Elections Process and Final Results

The Election Process:

Every year in April, the Cyclones Amateur Hockey Association holds their Board of Director elections.

In 2007, as per the CAHA By-Laws, the “A” Class Directors, Doug Becht, Tom Blondin, Tom McGee and Greg Raver terms expired on April 1st, 2007.  These board members had to inform the Nominating Committee by February of 2007 if they wanted to stand for re-election or if they have selected not to run for another 2 year term.

In January of each year, the Executive Committee appoints a “Nominating Committee”, whose responsibility is to present Cyclones members who fulfill the obligations set forth in our bylaws to the Executive Committee for nomination to the voting board. The Nominating Committee consist of five (5) members of the organization, two from the Executive Committee, two from the current Board of Directors (can include an ABM) and one from the general membership.

On Monday, January 8th 2007; consistent with our By-Laws the Executive Committee in a regularly scheduled monthly meeting named the following 5 people to serve on the Nomination Committee:

~ Beth Sterne and Jeff Heise as the two from the Executive Committee
~ Grieg Heimbuch and Pat Tierney as the two from the current Board of Directors
~ Bryan Sanzotti served as the person from our general membership.

On Friday, March 16th 2007; the Nominating Committee reviewed all applications to fill the “A” Class Director positions. Tom Blondin as one of the founding fathers of this association and having served as it’s Treasurer for over 6 years, has decided not to run for another term.  All of the previous Class “A” Directors have stepped forward to place their names in nomination to stand for reelection to another two year term. 

On Tuesday, March 20th 2007; in a regularly scheduled monthly meeting, the Nominating Committee made their recommendations to the Board of the candidates to fill all the open “A” Class Director positions. 

At a “Special Meeting” held on Monday, April 9th, 2007 @ 6:30 PM the elections were held to fill all but one of the open “A” Class Board of Director positions.  The remaining open “A” Class Director position must be filled within the next three CAHA Board of Director meetings.  Any open Associate Board Member (ABM) positions do not have to be filled at this time.

On Monday, April 9th 2007 @ 7:00 PM at the first regular scheduled Board of Directors meeting held after the election of the Class “A” Directors, we now must elect the two open Officers’ positions affected by the said election.  We must also elect a replacement for Officer Ms. Beth Sterne who has submitted her resignation as the Vice President and will step down once a person it elected into this position.  The now current Board of Directors voted to fill the President, Vice President and Secretary positions in separate ballet votes.  The officers were elected in the order of President, Vice President and then Secretary. After said election, the new board is formed and recognized.
