Frequently Asked Questions:
How much work is expected
of Board of Directors members?
Answer: Nominees should
understand that serving as an
ASBA leader involves a fair
amount of time, effort and
expense.
The Board meets three times a
year at the Technical Meeting,
at the Winter Meeting and, in
the summer. Members of the Board
are responsible for all travel
expenses related to these
meetings. Additionally, they
must pay meeting registration
fees and lodging costs at the
Technical Meeting and lodging
costs at the Winter Meeting.
Also, Executive Committee
conference calls are held when
the need arises, as are
occasional Board conference
calls. Board meetings involve
substantial pre-meeting
preparation and often result in
post-meeting assignments.
Serving as an officer or
director, therefore, involves
year-round activity.
Apart from the requirements
mentioned above, candidates
should be committed to the
Association and should
enthusiastically support its
goals and objectives.
How do nominations work?
Answer: You may nominate
yourself or someone else for the
positions above. If you are
nominating someone else, you
must get that person's agreement
before making the nomination.
To submit a nomination, send the
name, company and a brief
statement of qualification
including both professional
experience and Association
involvement. All information
should be sent to ASBA Call for
Nominations, 8480 Baltimore
National Pike, #307, Ellicott
City, MD 21043, faxed to
410-730-8833 or e-mailed to
cjordan@sportsbuilders.org.
Is there a deadline to
nominate myself or someone else?
Answer: Yes, the ASBA is
currently accepting nominations
through June 15, 2012. Any
nominations must be received at
the ASBA's office on or by that
date.
How do the elections work?
All nominations will be
submitted to the Nominations and
Elections Committee to ensure
that nominees are qualified
under the bylaws. A ballot will
be developed for submission to
the membership in late summer
with the election, and any
run-off ballots, completed prior
to the Technical Meeting. New
officers and directors will
assume their positions at the
conclusion of the Technical
Meeting in December.
Can I nominate two people
from the same company if I think
they are both qualified?
Answer: No. No person may be a
candidate for the Board of
Directors or for any given
position if the election of such
person could cause any member
company to have more than one
employee serving as an officer
or director of the Association
at the same time.
If I have other
questions....
Answer: Procedural questions
regarding nominations or
elections should be addressed to
the Chair of the Nominating and
Elections Committee, Mike
Edgerton, CTCB at 518-766-2932 or Fred Stringfellow, CAE, Executive
Director, at 443-640-1030, x102.
