Executive Guidelines
Preparation of Mail Ballots for Elections
When ballots are prepared for officer election, the names of nominees will be listed alphabetically. Each nominee shall prepare a statement of up to 500 words setting forth their aspirations, ideas and proposal as to the office nominated. If supplied by the nominee by the specified due date, the statement will be included with the ballot. Each eligible District 7 member shall receive the following 60 days prior to the Annual General Meeting:
- A ballot.
- A short biography and picture of each candidate.
- An outer postage paid envelope, addressed to District 7 Nomination and Election Committee.
- An unmarked inner envelope.
Director’s Campaign Rules
The main issue in setting campaign “rules” is level the playing field so that candidates have an equal opportunity inform the membership of their goals, and to minimize the out-of-pocket expenses that may occur during this type of campaign. The following "rules" have been proposed for this campaign. Note: these are still being reviewed for approval at the CITE Executive level, but are included here to ensure the process has not been lost:
- campaign expenses (travel, accommodation, meals, etc.) are not eligible for re-imbursement by CITE
- campaign speeches will be limited to the CITE Annual Conference (when all candidates are present)
- other campaign efforts
will be limited to:
- one posting through the CITE email distribution network
- one insert/article in Transportation Talk
- the regular mail-out candidate description that goes with the Ballots
- there will be no separate mail-outs to members
- there will be no individual email campaign notices sent out
- any CITE Executive member, who is a candidate, shall not take advantage of their position during the campaign
- any breach of these rules may result in the Nominating Committee Chair revoking the nomination of that individual.
