Toronto 2311 to elect 3 officers May 14

Toronto’s Maple Leaf Aerie 2311 will hold elections May 14 for the offices of Vice President, Secretary and Trustee, while the positions of Chaplain and Inside Guard remain vacant following nominations April 23.

Candidates for Vice President are incumbent Tom Robson and previous officer Roger Hubbard. Candidates for Secretary are incumbent Jacquie Smith and Brad Fortner. Candidates for Trustee are incumbent Dan O’Reilly and Ron Rankine.

At the same meeting Ken Cooper was acclaimed for a fourth term as Aerie President and Vicki Reid was acclaimed for a fourth term as Conductor.

Treasurer Art Richard and Trustees Bob Boag and Mike Wolfe are serving multi-year terms and continue in office.

In accordance with Aerie 2311 Bylaws, polls will be open from noon to 7:30 p.m. Election will be by printed ballot. Under the FOE Model Election Rules, each nominee may have an observer at the polls and/or at the counting of the ballots.

Members voting must have their current official dues receipt with them – the Secretary cannot vouch for a member who does not have his or her receipt. Members do not have to vote for all positions. Tellers ignore blanks and count only ballots cast. Election tellers present their report at the meeting that evening, with the President announcing the results.

The new executive, including candidates elected May 14, will be installed at a ceremony May 28, scheduled to be conducted by Grand Worthy President David Tice. They take office officially at the first general meeting in June.
