Start your election process this week!! Message-ID: Greetings, If your SIG did not apply for the SIG of the Year award your annual activity report is due on September 15th! You can turn it in via the form here: http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigreportfom.html FY15 Budgets are due by September 15th. *You can't spend any funds without a budget (even for the annual meeting).* Turn it in via this form: http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigbudgetform.html FUND NOTICE: If your SIG has FY14 allocation funds remaining - please be sure to spend these by *September 30th.* They can no longer be rolled over! Unspent allocation funds are forfeit (NOTE: your earned income will remain in your account from year to year). ELECTIONS: Start your election process this week by assembling your nominations committee. Most SIGs have only two elected positions - chair and chair elect. The rest are appointed positions. Please don't hesitate to ask any members of the SIG cabinet if you have questions or concerns about SIG elections - *you should hold your election the week of September 26th!* Election protocol is as follows: *Nominations eight weeks prior to the annual meeting (Week of September 8th)* Candidates for SIG officers should be nominated by a standing committee consisting of the SIG chair and two other SIG members appointed by the chair. The committee should prepare the ballot, with at least two nominees for each office to be filled. Nominations from the membership should be encouraged, but must follow the procedures outlined in the SIG's bylaws. Generally, these rules require that names be submitted by petition signed by at least ten members of the SIG and received by the chair at least eight weeks prior to the SIG's annual planning meeting. *Elections 6 weeks prior to the annual meeting (Week of September 26th)* All SIGs should hold their elections at least six weeks prior to the annual SIG planning meetings, which are held in conjunction with the ASIS Annual Meeting. *Early elections provide new officers the opportunity to begin generating ideas for the following year and to make necessary plans to assure their attendance at the all-important planning meeting. * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
