M.A.C. Nominating Committee Wants You to Run for the Board
Last year, the Missouri Athletic Club obtained Platinum Club status for the third time in a row. Because many of the Club’s major decisions fall in the hands of the Board, it’s these men and women who have made the Club what it is today. The M.A.C. Nominating Committee is seeking 10 qualified candidates to run for the 2007 Club election. Don’t miss this chance to implement your own ideas and give back to the Club. If you’re interested in running, please contact one of the Nominating Committee members listed under the photo above. Nomination packets, complete with a photo, letter of intent and biography, are due by mid-to late March.
After receiving all applications, the Nominating Committee will narrow the field of candidates to 10. These 10 people will appear on the ballot for the Club election on Thursday, May 3. The top five election winners will be announced at 8 p.m. on May 3 in the Missouri Room and will serve a three-year term on the Board.
As a governor, you can help implement changes, facilitate new ideas and guide the future of the M.A.C. Not only is it a way to give back to the Club, but the experience is extremely rewarding. First of all, with all of the events they get to participate in, being a governor is fun. Instantaneously you’ll make 14 new friends and meet 10 other new individuals in the two years to follow. You’ll see these people throughout the year at monthly board meetings as well as countless events. Those who serve on the Board are extremely dedicated, hardworking individuals. In other words, they’re great people to know.
Running for governor is also a great way to meet other (non-Board) M.A.C. members. You’ll certainly gain notoriety within the Club, whether or not you win. In fact, running for the Board is half the fun. As an enriching, rewarding experience, it’s a great way to get more out of your membership. Between dinners and other special events, the candidates develop a deep camaraderie that few ever forget. This is probably why so many candidates run two or three times if they don’t make it the first time.
Whether you decide to run for the Board or not, make plans now to be at the Downtown Clubhouse on Election Day, May 3. Experience all of the excitement first hand with a walk through the famed voting gauntlet. You’ll help shape the future of the Club and enjoy a complimentary dinner while you’re at it.
