PfCONA Board Nominating Committee (note from PfCONA Vice Chair)
PfCONA officer elections are just around the corner at the January 2007 Neighborhood Leader Roundtable. The PfCONA board has approved forming a nomination committee to find and solicit nominations for officer positions. Nominees may either live in the city of Pflugerville or its ETJ. Jeff Sims, PfCONA Vice Chair, has been appointed to head this committee.

Two to four other members, preferably not currently serving as officers, are invited to serve on this short-term committee. Serving on the ad hoc committee does not mean you are willing to be a PfCONA officer, but does not preclude you from serving either. It is anticipated that there will be no more than three related meetings, not to mention correspondence via email.

Nominations can be made by any member and sent to anyone on the committee. So, if there is someone or yourself that is interested in either serving as a PfCONA officer (or committee head), or on the nomination committee, please let PfCONA Vice Chair know ASAP.

PfCONA elected officers are: Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary/Treasurer.
PfCONA officers appointed by chair and confirmed by board are (committee chairs): special events, membership, safety, and communications.

Go to: www.pfcona.org/Purpose-Bylaws.htm There is a link on this page under BYLAWS that will open the bylaws and includes descriptions of the positions.

PfCONA Chair and Vice Chair do not plan to serve in 2007. However, both are committed to helping new officers throughout the year, especially for the 1st quarter of 2007 to allow for a smooth transition.
