Nominations Open For Board of Directors
In Regions 1,4,5,7 and 8
Dear Dan Member,
I hope you are in good health and spirits. "Board Director Nominations are now open for Regions 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation Inc."
You may submit your nomination online before August 31, 2016 using the online nomination form or by downloading the physical form and submitting it.
Please nominate the person you feel will best serve our organization on the Board of Directors as your region’s representative. When contemplating potential director nominees, please include in your considerations individuals with skill sets and/or professional experience who can bring their expertise to the Board and thus enhance Board effectiveness. The nomination form is a self-mailer that you can complete, fold, and mail. You can also use the form to fax your nomination to Headquarters.
Only nominations that have been postmarked by August 31 , 2016 or that have been received via online submission, fax or email by that date will be valid.
Board Directors elected in 2016 will serve a three-year term from 1/1/2017 to 12/31/2019.
Article 1, Section 1 of the By-laws states that “any currently active voting member of the Federation over 18 years of age may be a member of the Board of Directors.” Article 3, Section 3 of the By-laws states that “individuals holding Dan rank shall enjoy all rights and privileges as determined by the Board, plus the right to vote in Federation matters if they are over the age of 18 years.”
As an active Federation Dan member, the opportunity to nominate and to vote for your region’s representative on the Board of Directors are two of the most important rights and privileges granted to you by the Charter and By-laws of the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation, Inc.
Information is also included that will assist you in your selection process. Please read these enclosed materials and consider your nominee carefully. Be sure to communicate with your nominee to ensure that she or he is willing and able to serve before you make your nomination. After the stated deadline nominations will be tabulated, and the two people who receive the most nominations will be eligible for election and you will receive information about the two eligible nominees and a voting opportunity.
Exercising the right to vote is only one of many opportunities of a being a Dan, so don’t let your involvement end there. Your Federation and Board of Directors have a lot of work to do, and the Board consists of only 15 members. At any point, the Board is engaged in a number of activities and projects that support the purpose and mission of our organization. Administering these activities takes both human and financial resources. Even though you may not have the desire or time necessary to be a Board member, you can help in many other ways. Your contribution can be as simple as offering to make phone calls or as involved as spearheading a public relations or fundraising project. So, do your part by making a nomination and casting a vote during the election. When the election is complete, please consider contacting your Board representative and offering your help.
Thank you for your support.
In Moo Duk Kwan,
George Broyles
Secretary, Board of Directors
