Truckee Tribe Members,
It is time for our annual elections.
In reality, it is past time.
With the disruptions caused by COVID, the Tribe has not held official elections in a few years. We are opening up the opportunity for members to submit their interest in becoming a Board Member to fill some of the upcoming vacancies. We also have a few sitting members who are up for re-election.
We currently have a 9-person Board, with officers serving 2-year terms, and other directors serving 1-year terms. Due to kids growing up, we have a few members of our Board of Directors who are moving on. (You can real all about the details
here )
We request that all interested parties submit nomination for either themselves or another worthy candidate. Please include a short bio (I recommend including a picture) so that those voting for Directors will have some context. No lacrosse experience is required (although clearly helps)
The timeline will be as follows:
Nominations must be received by Friday September 2nd (5pm)
All candidates will be presented on our website for an online election which will commence on Monday September 5th and will run through Friday September 9th (5pm)
The current Board of Director will meet on Monday September 12th to tally and ratify new board members (and re-elected members)
If you are interested in serving on the Truckee Tribe Board, we encourage you to reach out to any current Board Member to learn more about the commitments. The Tribe Board is a working Board, where we expect each Director to contribute both during regular meetings, and outside of those meetings. The Tribe is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit club.
Once Tribe Board members are elected, it is up to them to select officers.
Below is a list of current Tribe Board members and their status. Again, please be thinking of nominees and get those names to
by September 2nd.
