Jain Center of Greater Boston
Jai Jinendra,
The Jain Center will hold elections during the Diwali program on November 6 this year to elect the Executive Committee (EC) and some members of the Board for the 2017-2018 term.
Our constitution requires us to take a few time-bound actions before the actual election. The first action item is for the current EC to appoint a 3-member an Election Subcommittee four months prior to the elections.
I invite you to serve in the Election Subcommittee. For this, you must
a) Be a voting member of the Jain Center.
b) Not stand for an EC or Board position in the election
c) Not be a current EC or Board member.
The duties of the Election Subcommittee are:
- Send notice of the upcoming election and invite members to contest the election for various positions.
- Review a person's nomination for his/her eligibility to stand in the election and approve his/her candidacy if it meets the constitutional criteria for the position.
- Conduct voting, including allowing members to vote at their (i.e. the Election Subcommittee member's) residence on the day before the election.
- Tally the votes, certify and announce the results to the JCGB community.
Serving in a subcommittee is a good way to support your Jain Center. If you are interested, please send me an email at [email protected] or call me at 1-401-323-6547.
Thanks and regards,
Dilip Jain
President
