Elections? What Elections?

The deadline to nominate NJR candidates has come and gone and I'm pleased to announce that there have been FIVE individuals nomintated! Now, I can't tell you who they are yet, because they still have until October 11th to decide if they are going to accept their nominations. On the 11th we'll announce the candidates who will officially be running for NJR!

In the meantime, have you heard about the national JB executive?? It's made up of the Canuck Editor, the National Camp Coordinator, the Junior Branch Development Committee (JBDC) Chair and the two NJRs . These are elected positions too but you don't need to be nominated to run for them... What DO you have to do, you wonder?

It's simple! In information package ONE there is a questionnaire for each position. If you are interested in running, all you have to do is answer the questions in the questionnaire and send it to Alex by October 23rd! Only those who submit questionnaires will be eligible to run in the elections at NBM. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail the NJRs (njr@ca.cisv.org) or any of the current members of the JB exec whose e-mails can be found in info package ONE!

happy long weekend y'all!

Hey K&A,

What happens if I want to be involved, but don't wan to chair a commitee or be an NJR? How can I join a committee?

Thanks,
Joanne

well joanne!
here's a thought:
there are committees both nationally and locally, so you should first decide which level of the organization you want to be involved in!

If it is nationally, there is a list of the current CISV committee chairs in the members only section of www.cisv.ca you should look up the committee you are interested in and contact the chair. They will let you know what kinds of things there committee is doing at the moment and what you can do to help.

ALSO! if you have a project of your own that you would like to see happen and you don't think it fits into any of the committees, contact the NJRs, they may be able to point you in the right direction. or maybe you've invented something entirely new...cool!

sweet involvement times.
