<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em">Once again it is time to hold elections for DPRG club officers. The election will occur at the DPRG monthly meeting on January 12th, 2019. It is very important that members vote. The by-laws require that a specific percentage
of members vote to make the election official.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px">A slate of candidates composed of the present officers is proposed for reelection in the 2019 election. The club’s by-laws limit the terms of the President and Vice-President to two years. This would be the 2nd term for Ray and Carl.
This slate is composed of members who have indicated interest at recent club events. Any member can come forward and be added to the list of people considered for the various officer’s positions. If you want to explore holding office, an overview of officer
duties can be found at <a href="https://www.dprg.org/officer-duties/" style="color: rgb(36, 140, 200); transition: all 0.2s ease 0s">officer duties</a>. You can also get additional information by talking to an existing officer at any monthly meeting or RBNO.
If you want to throw your hat into the ring, please let me know quickly at email “secretary at dprg dot org” so you can be added to the ballot.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0px">Members can vote by emailing their vote to “election at dprg dot org” before the January 12th meeting. The email should be contain the text “I vote for the proposed officer slate”, or “I vote for the following people for office”,
or similar text that allows our volunteer election vote counter, to determine your intentions.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px">Members can also vote in person or proxy at the January 12th DPRG meeting. If voting by proxy, you should signal your intention to vote by proxy by sending an email to the person that you are giving control of your vote and to “election
at dprg dot org” so the person holding your proxy and the person tallying votes knows of your intention. The person holding the proxy must then vote.</p>
