FOR Board of Director Candidates
Posted on Sep 3rd, 2015
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 will fill six vacating positions on the Board since a director has resigned before his term was completed.
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.
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.
These FOR directors are seeking re-election for a another three year term.

To date, two nominations for new Director have been received.
 Gary Kersh
My goals are to be able to help FOR in all areas needed. My qualifications include City Council for Brazoria for 18 years, and Mayor Pro Temp for the last 12 years, and now I have taken a new job with Commissioner Linder as his Chief Administrator, giving me more time to be available for FOR.
Note: Gary is this year’s “Escape to the Tropics Island LuWow” Co-chairman.
