My 2 Cents...
I see value in having bios distributed as part of the mass mailing, as it
gives Chapters the opportunity to get a "sneak peak" at what there options
are going to be for the National Convention as it relates to Brothers
running for high office. However, I believe that it would be wrong to
"require" that this happen, as the fraternity may inadvertedly limit their
range of potential candidates because they did not submit their name in a
timely manner.
My compromise would be to make early submission to the National Office an
option, and provide for the distribution of bios for those who announce
their candidacy early. It would not prevent a Brother from becoming a
candidate late in the game, they would merely not have the advantage of
advance distribution of biographical information by the National Office.
Thank You

Subject: [APO-L] Program Directors(& pres/VP) proposal
The National Convention votes on many things: bylaw changes, ritual
changes, national officers, time & place of next convention, resolutions
and awards. As far as I can tell, On only two of these is information not
required to the National Office by September 27th of the convention year:
Who is running for the awards and who is running for the Nationally
elected offices.
My wife(Also a brother) came up with the idea of requiring all of those
running for National Offices (Pres/VP/PDs) to put their names into the
National Office by the time that bylaw amendments are due. Resumes/CVs and
short statements about why they are running could be distributed with the
packet of bylaw amendments sent out to the chapters. I haven't quite
figured out what the bylaw ammendment to do this would look like, but I'm
interested in opinions. Please let me know how you feel about this:
Positive, Negative or indifferent.
Thank You
Yours in Leadership, Friendship and Service
