Subject: DOC QUEBEC AGM - Call for General Election
Event Date: Tuesday, March 21st, 2006
French follows below.
DOC-QUEBEC (WWW.DOCORG.CA) CALL FOR A GENERAL ELECTION
DOC-Quebec is issuing a call for a general election to fill
thirteen positions for a new executive board. The election is to be held
in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting to be held on March 21st at La
Maison de la ralisation, 3480 St. Denis St. beginning at 7 pm. The
meeting will open with a recorded farewell address from out-going president
Malcolm Guy and will conclude with a wine and cheese party to celebrate our
newly elected board of executives.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
As a member of the Executive Committee you will represent
Montreal's Documentary Filmmaking community (directors,
producers, technicians etc). It is a position of leadership whose
responsibilities include: attending monthly meetings, organizing events, participating
on sub-committees, and contributing to the evolution and defense of
the Canadian Documentary filmmaking tradition. Being on the executive places
you at the core of the Documentary community in Canada as DOC Quebec works with
the National Chapter and the Local Chapters from Vancouver to Halifax, to
strength the Documentary industry.
SUBMITTING CANDIDACY
Anyone who is a member in good standing of DOC-Quebec can
put themselves forward or be nominated as a candidate. In order to submit
your candidacy or be nominated it is essential that a one paragraph biography
on the potential candidate be emailed to DOC Quebec at cificquebec@sympatico.ca
no later than March 17th. A compilation list of all candidates will then
be sent out to the membership on Monday, March 20th.
A candidate can also present themselves or be nominated at
the beginning of the election period at the AGM on March 21st. However,
any candidate who is nominated at this time must be present in order to accept
or refuse the nomination.
THE POSITIONS
There are thirteen positions to be filled on the executive
board. Five of these positions are designated as: President, 2
Vice-Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer.
Anyone elected to the positions of president or
vice-president should understand that the presence of a minimum of two of these
three members will be mandatory at all monthly executive meetings.
The first order of business for the newly elected executive
is to assign the five designated positions as they see fit through an open and
diligent discussion amongst themselves finalising each position through a
series of motions that would conclude in a show of hands.
THE BALLOTING PROCESS
The election will be conducted by secret ballot with each
ballot to contain the names of five candidates. The thirteen candidates
who accumulate the most votes will comprise the new board. Any resulting
tie will be resolved through a second and, if necessary, a third round of
ballotting.
