February 18-19, 2000 ALHN Directors' Election (8) Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 19:38:41 -0800 From: "Debbie" Subject: ALHN: Elections To: ALHN@alhn.org Although the bylaws normally only permit the incumbent directors to nominate and elect directors for vacant positions, Lucy and I have both always agreed that the Volunteers should come first. Therefore, I am certain that she will have no problem with the following procedure which I am hereby directing on behalf of the American Local History Network, Inc. (ALHN): Because of the urgent nature of our situation (eight vacancies), no nominations will be held. Instead, we will have an open election on this list effective the time and date of this email. Each subscriber to the list will have eight votes, and the top eight vote-getters shall fill the eight vacancies, effective 24 hours from the time and date of this email, per the will of ALHN Volunteers.

(ALHN), I hereby announce that the polls for the Special Election of eight seats on the Board of Directors are hereby closed. All votes will now be tallied. If any of you on this list have also been tallying votes, could you please email them to the list, to make sure the vote totals jive.

A Special Meeting of the Board of Directors will be called to order on this list 15 minutes after the election results are posted. I will be chairing the Special Meeting only long enough for nominations and the election of a new President to be conducted, at which point I will be handing the gavel over to the new President of the new Board of Directors of the American Local History Network, Inc., in order to conclude the nominations and elections of other offices, and chair the remainder of the meeting.
