DuKane ABATE 2020 Board Elections

Posted on by

The United States is not the only body having elections this year: the DuKane Chapter of ABATE has an election of its own. On November 17th, the DuKane Chapter will host a membership meeting at which ABATE members can nominate candidates or be nominated for these positions:

  • Vice President
  • Treasurer
  • Legislative Coordinator
  • PR Coordinator
  • Membership Coordinator
  • Independent Representative #2

The Treasurer and Legislative positions are mandatory for this chapter. As such, we will need at least one candidate to run for each of those positions, and the incumbents, Treasurer Tina Hejnar and Legislative Coordinator Randy Ramey, are willing to do so. If you are a member of DuKane ABATE and want to run for one of the listed positions, you must attend our meeting on November 17th to be nominated.

At our December meeting, we will need members to attend and vote for the nominees for each position. And no, mail-in voting is not an option.
