About the event
February Nomination of Officers
One of the more important events coming up in February is the nomination of Lodge Officers for the ensuing fiscal year, April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. Â Nominations will be held at this regularly scheduled meeting. Â If you are planning to run for an officer's position you need to be a member in good standing (dues current) and the person nominating you must be a member in good standing. Â You do not have to be present at the meeting on February 9th to be nominated, but whoever is making the nomination must be present. Â You may also nominate yourself at that meeting. Â Please do not nominate a member if that member is not serious about running for that position.
Nominations will be closed at the end of the Lodge meeting on February 9th, as long as at least one member has been nominated for the particular office. Â In the unlikely event that no one is nominated for a particular office, or if all candidates nominated for that office withdraw prior to the Lodge election, then and only then, nominations will be open for that office at the Lodge meeting on February 23rd,the night of the elections.
If you have any questions regarding the duties of the Officer positions, nomination, election process, or on soliciting support prior to the election, please feel free to call the Lodge Secretary at 650-493-4249. Â Information on the nomination and the election process is also available in the Lodge Statutes.
