Other nominations

Secretary : The Nominating Committee regrets that we were unable to find a candidate for the position of Secretary.

NSRAP representative : In earlier years NSRAP's representative for senior issues used to be considered a member of the Elderberries Board ex officio. This position has been in abeyance for a few years, and we suggest the Elderberries Board discuss whether we wish to reinstate it. If so, perhaps the Chair rather than the Nominating Committee should be the one to contact NSRAP.

Nominations at the AGM : Nominations may also be made and seconded from the floor at the AGM. Nominees must be members of Elderberries, and must signify their consent either orally or (if not present) in writing.

Respectfully submitted by the Elderberries Nominating Committee, June 2018. Chair: Lynn Murphy; Members: Carolyn Gesner, Scott MacNeil
