Results of Board and Bylaws Elections
Thank you to all of you who voted in the fall elections and for generously donating to WILPF and renewing memberships. A big "Thank You" goes to the six members of the St. Louis Branch who counted the ballots. Their service to WILPF is greatly appreciated.
We thank the following members who agreed to run for the board positions. Their willingness to dedicate their time and energy to WILPF on a national level is much appreciated.
Board Positions
(uncontested)
Board Secretary: Eileen Kurkoski
Program Chair (3-year position): Barbara Nielsen
Program Chair (2-year position): Teresa Castillo
Bylaws Proposals
Proposal No. 1, specifying the Treasurer/Finance Committee Chair is a member of the Development Committee: PASSED
Proposal No. 2, clarifying the US Section requirements for qualifying to be a candidate for and to serve on the national board: PASSED
Unfortunately, no one ran for the two remaining openings on the Board: Personnel Chair and At-Large. The Board, according to the Bylaws, may appoint interim Board members. The Nominating Committee urges WILPF members to seriously consider applying for these one-year, interim positions for 2018.
Click here for the descriptions of these positions.
Applications for the two positions are due, by e-mail, no later than Sunday, January 28, 2018. For the Personnel Committee Chair, members with knowledge of human resources and/or union experience are especially urged to apply. Any interested members should apply by
downloading the application.
In the fall 2018 elections, five Board positions will be open: President, Personnel Chair, Development Committee Chair, Nominating Committee Chair, and At-Large Member. The Nominating Committee will work hard to find multiple candidates for each position, but your help is needed. If you know of anyone who might be a good candidate, contact the Nominating Committee.
