Election Bios
Introducing the candidates for the 2008 election
On Thursday, May 1, an age old tradition will once again be celebrated at the Club. Eager candidates and excited votes will fill the Club to elect a new class of governors to the Board. The famed gauntlet will corral members through campaign promises, handshakes and pleas for votes. Once voting stops and all the ballots are tallied, five new governors will join the board and serve the Club for three years. This year nine candidates are running for a spot on the Board. Have you checked out who is on the ballot for the 2010-2011 class of Governors? Click here to meet the candidates.
