Nominations to the Board of Directors of Tammany Together are now open. Elections will be held at our Annual Meeting on April 18, 2011.

As prescribed in our bylaws, the nominating process is as follows:

Nominees (a) must be either an Individual Member of Tammany Together or a member of an organization holding a Group Membership, and (b) must be a resident of St. Tammany Parish, and (c) may not be an elected or appointed public official. Members elected to the Board of Directors serve a term of two years.

There are two ways that a member may be nominated for election to the Board.

Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee will choose a slate of directors and present the slate to the Board of Directors not later than March 4, 2011. The Board will then ratify the slate for presentation to the general membership. Members wishing to suggest someone for consideration by the Nominating Committee may submit their suggestions by sending an email to nominations@tammanytogether.org. Suggestions should be received by February 18, 2011, to allow adequate time for consideration. All suggested nominees will be considered, but suggesting someone to the Nominating Committee does not guarantee that their name will be placed before the general membership for election to the Board.

Nominations from the Floor
Nominations may be made from the floor at the Annual Meeting by any voting member, provided the prior consent of the nominee shall have been secured. All nominees must meet the qualifications of a Director.

The board will announce the Nominated Slate to the general membership not later than March 19, 2011, and the election will be held at the Annual Meeting on April 18, 2011. Members and Delegates must be present to vote. Details on the time and place of the Annual Meeting will be announced in a future notice.

Your Tammany Together Board of Directors
