In response to a couple of requests for clarification....
We're calling for nominations and seconds of those nominations for the
officer positions of prefect and secretary of Tripoli East North Carolina
(065) in 2021 here on ncrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
As of this date, January 4, we have received nominations for two candidates
for prefect - Kurt Hesse and Joe Hill. Joe Hill's nomination has been
seconded. We have also received one nomination for Secretary - Dennis Hill.
Dennis's nomination for secretary has been seconded. Nominations and
seconds will be accepted until January 12.
The voting for nominated and seconded candidates will be called for in
another communication here on ncrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx shortly after the
close of the nomination period.
The voting will be private and the process will be outlined at that time.
Hope this clarifies things. If anyone has further questions, feel free to
ask.
Thanks -
Dennis

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 Hill
TRA #2173
Level 3 Certified
Secretary, Tripoli East NC Prefecture 065
