AFM Local 655 Election Committee Report

September 23, 2011

 

The Election Committee met on July 2nd and on July 30th (minutes attached). The Election Committee was also present at the September 19th membership meeting.

The committee received signed nomination petitions as follows:

  • By mail at the post office box, Ed Kolcz for Vice President (Alamilla & Whitney).
  • In person at the Sept. 19th membership meeting, Jim Bermann for Director, Iris Van Eck for Director, Pierre Holstein for Director, Eric Kerley for Director, Barbara Corcillo for Director, Jeff Apana for Secretary-Treasurer (Alamilla, Martinez & Whitney).
  • In person, Brian Stanley for Director (Martinez).

At the September 19th membership meeting, the committee also received a signed nomination petition from member Phil Tempkins for President. The Secretary-Treasurer reports that Phil Tempkins’ membership in Local 655 was suspended 9/1/2010, reinstated 11/16/2010, suspended again 3/1/2011 and reinstated again 3/2/2011. Because our bylaws require candidates for office to maintain membership in good standing continuously for one year prior to nomination day (Article IX, Section 4., (a)), this member is not eligible for nomination to the 2012-2014 term.

The nominees for the 2012-2014 term are:

President:                    (none)

Vice President:            Ed Kolcz

Secretary-Treasurer:    Jeff Apana

Director:                      Jim Bermann, Pierre Holstein, Barbara Corcillo, Iris Van Eck, Eric Kerley, Brian Stanley
 

There is one nominee each for Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer and the six Director positions. Therefore these candidates are automatically elected (Article IX, Section 5., (b)).
 

There is no nominee for President. Therefore our current President, Janet Clippard, remains in office until her successor is elected (Article IX, Section 5., (a)).
