Now that we have elected our executive committee for Democrats Abroad France, the next step is to elect our own executive committee here, within the Riviera Chapter. Our activities don’t come without the strong efforts of a vibrant Executive Committee. Recovering from the traumatic 2016 Presidential Elections, it is time to renew these efforts. We can’t let our momentum subside nor allow our voices to be silenced. So the time has come for our own, Democrats Abroad France - Riviera Chapter’s Executive Committee elections. We are officially calling for candidates for the following positions:
- Chair
- Vice-Chair
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Up to six members-at-large
Please take the time to consider the possibility to dedicating time to our Executive Committee for a two year term. If you have any questions about the roles and responsibilities of these positions, please respond to this e-mail and we will get back to you. It takes a team of volunteers to keep the torch lit.
In order to successfully organize these elections, we are establishing a deadline for reception of candidacies. To have your name on our ballot you will need to submit the following by our next Political Wine on 05 APR 2017 (Wednesday):
- your name,
- the position you wish to run for
- a brief statement of your interest (150 words maximum)
Your submission can easily be done by replying to this e-mail.
In addition for all members, please mark on your calendar 18 APR 2017 (Tuesday evening) when our elections will be formally held. The location:
Hôtel Villa Rivoli
10 rue Rivoli, 06000 NICE
(**Voting will be possible electronically, by post or in person.)
Along with the elections, we will be hosting an expert on FATCA and how it has impacted our communities abroad. Keep an eye out as more details to come at a later date.
Please note this is our local election and is independent of the national election for the DA-France Executive Committee just held on 11 MAR.
