DIRECTOR ELECTIONS

Each District Director is elected by the clubs in the District that are also members of NYSSA. Each NYSSA-member club in the District is entitled to one vote for District Director. Each District should complete its District Director election at least 30 days prior to the Annual Meeting. NYSSA will mail or e-mail to each club the Director Certification Form for use by individual member clubs. Also, each county association will be mailed a Certification Form for use by county associations. To complete the Director election in the District, member clubs may record its vote by completing the Member Club Certification Form or each member club may record its vote by using the County Association Certification Form. NYSSA will mail out these forms at least sixty days prior to the Annual Meeting. If more than one candidate receives votes by NYSSA-member clubs in a district, the candidate with the majority of votes of the NYSSA-member clubs that have voted will be recognized as the District Director. In a single county district, the county association or federation is not entitled to vote for the district director. County associations and federations in a multi-county district are not entitled to a vote, as all voting is done through the club delegates. The single county certification form may be used by the NYSSA-member clubs in the association or federation as a means to record their vote. Each District may appoint or elect an Alternate Director, who would attend NYSSA meetings to represent the District in place of the elected Director. NYSSA must be notified of Alternate Director appointment via the certification form prior to attendance at BOD meetings. After three months have passed after the annual meeting, the NYSSA BOD may appoint a District Director for a District that has not elected a Director. Elected District Directors assume their duties at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.
