Society Announces Nominating Committee Election Procedures

Official Legal Notice for 2000–2001 Term

Article IX of the NYSSCPA bylaws (see page 22) sets forth the procedures to be followed for the election of the Committee on Nominations.

Seven of the nine members of the committee are elected by the membership and two members are designated by the board of directors. Nominations for the seven members elected by the membership shall be by petition filed with the Secretary between September 1 and the close of the first general meeting of the Society after October 1 (scheduled this year for November 1). (See meeting notice on page 3.) Members can obtain a petition form by contacting Pat Borges at (212) 719-8302 or pborges@nysscpa.org.

Each petition must be signed by at least 10 members other than the nominee. The signing members shall have been members for at least five consecutive years and shall certify that the nominee has consented to serve if elected.

No member shall be eligible to be one of the seven members to be elected by the membership if he or she is a current member of the board of directors or was a member of the Nominating Committee for either of the two preceding fiscal years, or has less than five years of continuous membership in the Society, including at lease two years of committee participation.
