It’s time for an election! 

The bylaws of the Point Lookout Yacht Club require the executive board to provide for nominations and elections of new members to the executive board every three years. 

There are no specific rules as to who can run or hold office. All current club members are eligible.  A current executive member may be re-elected to the same or a different office without restrictions.

The executive positions listed below are open for nominations. Combined nominations for a Commodore/Vice Commodore team are acceptable. 

Nominees have the option to decline their nomination prior to the election, but all nominees that remain in the running will be included in the election process.

Multiple nominations for the same individual or team unopposed may be accepted as an election, and be installed into office with the approval of the current executive board. 

Nominees shall be submitted using the “members@pointlookoutyc.com” email address, which will be displayed on the member forum page of the website. If needed elections will be handled electronically, but voters’ selections will not be identified publicly, only the final results.

The nomination period will open today, March 14^th, and run to the last day of the month March 31st. At the close of the nomination period, unmatched nominees for commodore will choose a running mate for vice commodore.

The nominees for each office will be published, along with the commodore/vice commodore teams. An election period will open shortly after, lasting 5 days. The list of nominees will be available on the website with selection boxes for each. It is permissible for a nominee for commodore to also be a nominee for vice commodore selected by the commodore nominee (e.g. Nom-A chooses  Nom-B, and Non-B chooses Nom-A).

Members must be logged in to vote, and may do so up until the election period closes on April 5^th, 2019

Please begin sending your nominations at once. And, feel free to nominate yourself and a partner if you like.
