OATAG Seeks Nominations for Election

According to our recently-adopted bylaws, OATAG offers you several levels of involvement:

1. Supporters who have asked OATAG to keep them informed of its activities or have participated in an OATAG activity
2. Members who have completed a membership application and are entitled to receive notice of meetings
3. Board Members who have been OATAG Members for 12 months and agree to maintain an active presence in OATAG. 
4. Directors

Board Members are nominated by existing board members. They agree to participate in OATAG meetings and events. They have the right to vote at any meeting at which they are present and to nominate and vote for the directors. 

Directors consist of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and one at-large member. Any Board member who has been on the board for 12 months may serve as Director. Directors are selected by ballot by board members at the annual meeting. Nominations for Directors must be made in writing at least one month prior to the annual meeting which usually takes place in October. 

If you are currently serving as a Director or Board member, please let us know whether you are interested in remaining on the board and/or in serving as a Director so we can arrange for a ballot and orderly election. If you do not wish to continue as a Board member, it is important to let us know that also, because only Board members vote for Directors.

If you are currently a member and are interested in joining the Board, please let us know that also. We currently have several vacancies on the board. We cannot maintain our current level of activities without participation by members of our community. Oregon's children need your help.

Please contact Margaret DeLacy at mdelacy@oatag.org with your information.
