V.P. Election Deadlines are on the Horizon
by Stu Sipma, NHPA President
Positions up for re-election this year are 1st Vice President and 3rd Vice President.
Jerry Smith, current 3rd Vice President, has submitted to me his intent to seek another term. However, the position of 1st Vice President is open for candidacy, as Dan Sanders has decided not to pursue another term.
Per the NHPA bylaws (ARTICLE V, Section 7) candidates for NHPA Office must announce their candidacy in writing, to be received by the President and the Newsline editor no later than April 1.
The 1st Vice President is currently responsible for rules and bylaws, grievances, suspensions, and medical exemptions. Please know that the current roles Dan is covering may change with the new incumbent, depending on his/her experience. The President has the authority to make these changes in the best interest of the NHPA.
I want to thank Dan Sanders for all his work on the Council since 2006. Dan said he would like to stay engaged in helping out however he can.
