Tripoli East North Caroline 2021 Office Nominations Greetings fellow
rocketeers! I hope the COVID holidays have found you safe and healthy and
enjoying them as much as possible under the circumstances. I don't think we'll
have to work very hard to have a better 2021 but I wish it for you,
nonetheless. It's that time of year again to hold officer elections for the
Tripoli East North Carolina Prefecture (065). As you all probably know, Alan
Whitmore has been our outstanding prefect for the past 15 years. He has decided
it is time for him to step down and turn the reins over to someone else. We all
owe Alan a huge debt of gratitude for his outstanding service and leadership
over the past fifteen years. He has nominated two individuals for prefect in
2021 - Kurt Hesse and Joe Hill. Seconds for either or both of these candidates
are requested and required to put their name up for consideration in the
election runoff. If anybody else would like to nominate someone to run as
Prefect of Tripoli East North Carolina, please do so by responding here on
ncrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx by the end of January 12, 2021. As for the office of
Tripoli East North Carolina Secretary, I again offer my name in consideration
for the office of Secretary in 2021. I feel that serving once again would lend
some continuity to the prefecture leadership as we transition to a new prefect.
Seconds for my candidacy as Secretary are requested. If anybody else is
interested in nominating someone to run for Secretary, nominations of other
Secretary candidates and seconds are requested and can be done so by responding
here on ncrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx by the end of January 12, 2021. Any TRA member
subscribed to ncrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is eligible to nominate and vote in the
Tripoli East North Carolina officer nomination and election process. After
nominations and seconds are made by the end of Saturday, January 12, 2021, I
will send a communication out on this same forum requesting votes for the
nominated candidates and I will then outline the voting process.Just FYI: I
plan to recuse myself from counting the election ballots if my son ends up
being a candidate for Prefect. Alan has contacted the Tripoli Board of
Directors and received permission under these special circumstances to be the
vote tabulator in my stead for our election. The voting procedure will be
private and the process will be outlined in my next email when I announce the
official nominees.If any of the nominees wish to post a brief bio of
themselves, why they would like to serve as Prefect or Secretary, their
personal and rocketry qualifications and perhaps their vision for the rocketry
hobby in general and Tripoli East North Carolina in particular, or address any
other matter relevant to the prefecture election and their candidacy, those
comments will be welcome here at ncrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx throughout the
nomination and election periods. Thank you all for your participation and
support. I look forward to flying with you as soon as it is safe to do so in
2021.Sincerely,Dennis HillTRA #2173Level 3 CertifiedSecretary, Tripoli East NC
Prefecture 065
