LOG
The NAF is looking for a new Editor for the On-Line Magazine "Smoke Signals". The NAF will need to get interested members for the position of the Chief Factor, as Howdy Davis will be stepping down. Buck will help our new editor get his feet on the ground before leaving. Howdy will help the newly elected Officer with his position. Bob Loyd has graciously stepped up to do the job of Chief Factor. _____________________________________________ Term of Office and Elections

.. | B.
Elections. Campaigning shall be conducted in the final six months
of each term. Ninety days before the end of each term, the Captain shall
appoint an election committee of three members, who shall designate a
return address for ballots. At least sixty days before the end of the
term, the Secretary shall send election ballots to all active full
members, listing all candidates who have submitted their names, along
with their election statements and qualifications. Ballots shall show
the return address, and a deadline date 30 days prior to the end of
term, and must be postmarked by the deadline, with seven additional days
allowed for delivery. Candidates who receive the largest number of votes
(a plurality) shall be elected. The election committee shall issue its
report within 15 days of the deadline, thus allowing 15 days for the new
officers to make an orderly transition.
C. Addresses. Members desiring to vote shall ensure that the roster contains their current address at the time ballots are to be mailed. Members who do not return ballots may be dropped from active status and will not receive further ballots and mailings. To be reinstated, inactive members must contact the Treasurer, providing a statement desiring re-activation and a current address for the roster. _____________________________________________
