| DAAS Elections - 2005: Overview |
Introduction
For three years the Dominica Academy of Arts and Sciences (DAAS) has been under the management of a Board of Directors and Executive Committee which were selected. With no elected authority, these volunteers took up the challenge to guide the steady development of what can now be recognised as a formidable, online, registered not-for-profit organisation that tries to deliver its Mission.
Today, the Academy has taken the bold stride in its development to hand the reins of management to an elected Board and Executive. This is a positive sign of its maturity and readiness to move forward with confidence and resolve to which its Chronicle of Achievements will attest.
Elections Process
The following steps have been laid out to ensure an effective and fair transfer of management control, having regard to the DAAS Bylaws:
- An Elections and Nominations Committee (ENC) was appointed by the DAAS President to undertake the following:
- To prepare a Registered Voters List of members in good financial standing by a given deadline
- To advertise to the membership the positions slated for election
- To seek nominations from Registered Voters and advertise them
- To set date of elections and inform the Registered Voters
- To prepare and distribute online ballots to Registered Voters
- To collate results and present them to the DAAS President
- The DAAS President will inform the elected officers of the results and present the new Board of Directors and Exceutive to the general membership
- Formal transfer of control will proceed following the announcement.
