Seascape Association Members,

 

Per state guidelines/mandates on large gatherings, the Association Board has voted to change the format of the annual association meeting from a collective group gathering to an internet video meeting using Zoom software. This change is being done to ensure everyone's safety during these unusual times.

 

We are developing the annual President's Letter and will distribute it as normal before the meeting along with instructions on using Zoom.  We will pick a time and date for the virtual meeting and send it out well before the meeting which should be the last weekend in June.

 

There are two things that I would like you to do:

    The Nomination Committee has put forth a list of candidates for the 5 Officers and two Director positions scheduled to open up this year. The membership has the ability to nominate candidates for these positions as well. If you want to nominate someone for a position, please send me an email by May 15th with the name of the candidate and the position you want to nominate that person for. I will include it in the ballot for voting in the president's letter.

 

    Nominating Committee Recommendations:

        President: Tim Gallagher (returning)

        1st Vice President:  Art Schick (new replacing Greg Strakosch)

        2nd Vice President: Peter Howard (returning)

        Treasurer: Marianne Beardsley (new replacing John Mannix) 

        Secretary Ellen Clark (returning)

 

        Board Class of 2023 for 3 years

        Warren Fish (new replacing Charlie Logiudice)

        Brian Murphy (new replacing Jeanine Kelly)

     

        John Honey 2021 (continuing)

        Michelle Sax 2021 (continuing)

        John Beigel 2022 (continuing)

        Russ Hazelton 2022 (continuing)

 

    Normally at the meeting, any member can put forth any question or proposal for discussion and vote by the membership. In order to facilitate this New Business, I would like anyone who wants to raise a question or proposal to send it to me in an email by May 15th. I will bring it up in a Board meeting for our recommendation to the membership and include the recommendation in the president's letter. Members will have limited ability to speak in the video meeting and we would like to get as much processed beforehand.

 

The Board is working to have the President's Letter sent out by the end of May which should give everyone ample time to digest it and be ready for the annual meeting in the end of June.

 

Thank you for your support. If you have any questions please let me know. Please stay safe!

 

If you have an email address please send it to me at tg5401@aol.com so we can add you to the electronic list.

 

Regards,

 

Tim Gallagher

President Seascape Association.
