Salvete Omnes! I hope you are doing well and have recovered from the emotional letdown following convention (isn’t it hard to go back to normal life?), but I have just the thing that will cure those feelings – the February board meeting! The February meeting will be held at Homestead High School on the 22nd at 11 AM. This meeting is particularly important because not only will we be recapping state and setting our course for the rest of the year, we also have an emergency election for the position of Historian. As you likely remember, there was no elected candidate for the position of Historian at state Convention this year. As a result, a state of emergency is declared for the aforementioned position. If you are interested in running for the position, which is primarily comprised of keeping a record of JCL events through photography and compiling those images for the scrapbook competition at NJCL Convention! Anyone may run, and if you do decide to (and we highly encourage it), please submit a declaration of candidacy to wjclparliamentarian@xxxxxxxxx. It can be found on the website or attached in this email. If you are unable to scan the form in for sending, please send an email with the information to the address. In terms of procedures on that day, you will be permitted a 90 second speech and then will be asked a series of questions by the current historian, Elena Gratton, as well as any at large questions, so start preparing now! Also, as each school is allotted one vote, it is crucial that every school send at least one delegate. If one is not present at the meeting, your school may not vote! Voting also are the officers who served at state convention (the officers do not relinquish their duties until 31 days after convention), and the state chairs. If no candidate should receive a majority, there will be a run-off election between the two candidates with the highest votes. Also attached to this email is the agenda for the meeting. As you will notice, the agenda is fairly lengthy, so expect a relatively long meeting. If you have any questions, feel free to email me back. One last reminder: If you haven’t already, make sure to take the post-convention survey, it is linked here <http://goo.gl/forms/z8aaGm0qWS>. Sincerely, Michael Kearney WJCL Treasurer WJCL President-Elect
