The FOR San Bernard Board of Directors is comprised of fifteen persons. A board member serves for three years. Each year, five positions on the board rotate off and their positions are up for public vote. This year’s election at the FOR Annual Meeting on Sat Sep 17th, 4:00 pm, Dido's Restaurant, will fill five vacating positions on the Board.

 

Board candidates do not have to live on the river to be considered for election. Candidates for election must, however, be interviewed and qualified by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is made up of the retiring members of the Board and whomever the board may appoint to serve on the Nominating Committee. Nominees are required to fill out a Board Nominee Questionnaire.

 

Each candidate will be given two minutes at the public meeting to introduce themselves and their goals to the public prior to voting. The order of names on the written ballot will be by random drawing.

 

Nominations will not be taken from the floor at the meeting, and write-in candidates will not be counted. Those persons obtaining the most votes will become board members.
