Good Monday Morning,
All of us want to be active and
involved, we need leaders with forwarding thinking ideas and
the strength to stand up for changes that will help us
grow. As I was working on my text for today I came across
this quote,
“You can't leave footprints in the
sands of time while sitting down. “
--Nelson Rockefeller.
Now is the time for you to “become a
leading advocate for working women” by running for a state
office. BPW/MI needs your footprints in our future. We are
looking for qualified women to serve as State Officers for
2007-08. A description of each of the Vice Presidential
offices can be found in the Michigan Manual, By laws for
BPW/MI (gray section) Article XIV.
The offices of the Michigan
Federation open for election are:
President
Elect
Vice President, Legislation
Vice
President, Finance and Treasurer
Vice President,
Communications/Secretary
Please submit the following for each
Candidate to the Chair of Nominations:
- Official Data Form
- Consent to Serve Form
- Summary of candidates’
qualifications to appear in the January/February
issue
of the Michigan Business Woman (should not exceed 200 words)
- Recent 5 X 7 glossy photograph of
the candidate
Nominations will be accepted prior to
the opening of the 2007 State Convention. Nominations may
also be made from the floor. Each nominee must be
endorsed and submit a written consent to serve to the
Nominations Chair.
The opportunities to build and refine
your leadership skills while serving your fellow members,
are a very special part of what membership and involvement
in a non-profit organization can hold in store for you - an
opportunity to develop skills and experience in campaigning
in general - which is very helpful if you ever decide to run
for public office!
Please let me know if you have
questions or if I can be of assistance to you in any regard.
Connie Carroll
