2026 BOARD ELECTIONS

OVERVIEW

In 2026, we will have two positions available for election to the Board. This is because we stagger the election of board members to allow for continuity across the years. The term for each Board member is four years, and Board members may re-stand for election at the end of their term.

Anyone who wishes to stand for election to the Board must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Be a primary (paid-Euphoria) member of the Club for a minimum of two consecutive years.

  • Have sound written and spoken English.

  • Be older than 21 years of age.

Note that being a Board member is strictly on a volunteer basis and no payment will be received for undertaking these duties.

The election is to the Board, not to a specific position. Once the Board members have been elected, all members of the Board will nominate for any particular position they may wish to undertake.

Two weeks will be provided for nominations. Members wishing to nominate will need to do all of the following:

  • meet the above qualifications;

  • provide a summary (of a length to be determined by the Elections Officer) relating to their personal background and what they will bring to the Board;

  • comply with other requirements, as may be determined by the Board or the Elections Officer;

  • refrain from using any of the club’s, or other member’s emails or personal, social media platforms to “campaign.”

MEET THE CANDIDATES AND VOTE

  • A virtual meeting will take place for members to meet the candidates.

  • Candidates for Board positions are expected to refrain from active campaigning other than by providing the statement described above and participation at one or more formal meetings organized by the Elections Officer. More information is available in the Constitution.  

  • The Elections Officer shall determine the exact method of casting votes, ensuring that the method is fair and accessible. Individual votes will be cast electronically over the internet. The Elections Officer will count and verify votes, advise candidates of the results, and post details on the Club website.
