Dear Members of CHADD of Northern California:

In accordance with CHADD policy relating to CHADD Chapter elections, the CHADD Chapter of Northern California will hold its annual election for the Chapter Board of Directors and Officers by written ballot on Saturday, June 16, 2007, from 12 pm to 3 pm, in San Leandro:

Mission Bay Mobile Home Parks & Communities
15333 Wicks Blvd.
San Leandro, CA 94579

Directions are at: http://www.chaddnorcal.org/schedule/directions/SanLeandro.htm

We will also have a segment for strategic planning for the coming year. The agenda is now posted.

The election will be open to all current CHADD members, and only Chapter members in good standing may hold a Chapter Board or Officer position. Interested Chapter members may announce their intention to seek election to any Chapter leadership position at the elections and will be considered in the voting process.

A list of members in good standing will be used at the meeting to identify who may vote.

The election will be conducted by a chapter election team who is not standing for election and who has been appointed by the Chapter's Board to assist with the election process. Each candidate will have a maximum of three minutes to address the meeting and answer questions. A simple majority of votes cast shall determine the outcome.

The ballot is available online on the CHADD of Northern California website in PDF format. The URL is:

Each CHADD membership is entitled to one vote. If, for example, both a husband and wife attend the election and they have a CHADD "Family" membership, they may cast only one vote.

The Chapter Nominating Committee (The Executive Board) has developed a slate of candidates for Officer and Board positions. At this time, the Nominating Committee recommends the slate of candidates in the first column.

Write-in votes are allowed for any position. Vote in Just ONE Column, or your vote cannot be counted.
