Nominations Committee Seeks Board Candidates for 2018 Election
April 24, 2018
The SBE Nominations Committee work has begun. Members of this committee include: Robert Combs, from Spring, TX; John George Jr., from Lexington, SC; Martin Stabbert, CPBE, from Reno, NV; Joe Snelson, Jr., CPBE, 8-VSB, from Aurora, CO; and chairman Justin Tucker, CSRE, AMD, CBNE, from Charleston, SC.
The SBE Nominations Committee seeks qualified candidates who are voting members (Member, Senior, Fellow or the designated representative of a SBE Sustaining Member) in good standing (dues paid). Candidates must hold an engineering level of SBE certification (CBT or higher, or CBNE) and maintain it the entire duration of service on the Board, if elected. Candidates should have a desire to serve and lead, not only as a member of the board, but through service as a national committee chair or member. Members of the Board are “at large,” meaning they represent all members, not any one specific region, state, city or chapter. It is suggested that candidates have previous experience as a leader in his or her local chapter, or other volunteer leadership experience, prior to running for the national SBE Board.
Members of the Board are expected to attend two regularly called meetings each year; in the spring, held during the annual NAB Show, and in the fall, at the annual SBE National Meeting. Other meetings may be called via conference call during the year.
The national SBE board includes 12 directors, four officers and the immediate past president. Directors serve two-year terms and officers serve one-year terms. Six director seats will be contested in 2017 as will all four officer positions. The SBE By-laws limits the number of terms of elected members of the Board. Directors may serve three consecutive terms. The secretary and treasurer may serve up to four consecutive terms and the president and vice president may serve up to two consecutive terms. The maximum number of years anyone may serve on the board is ten consecutive years. The time spent as immediate past president does not count towards the ten-year total.
Members interested in offering their candidacy and serving on the national Board if elected are encouraged to contact the chairman of the SBE Nominations Committee, Justin Tucker, CSRE, AMD, CBNE, at jttucker@sbe.org or 843-277-1270. A slate of nominees will be assembled by the committee by May 1. Other qualified members may be nominated by members in good standing no later than July 6.
The election takes place from July 20 through Aug. 22. Those elected will be installed into office during the SBE National Meeting in Danvers, MA, on Oct. 3.
