When is the election: The elections for DC Minyan Board of Directors will be held December 17th through the end of December 19th.

How does voting work: The election will take place virtually using a web-based voting platform. Each member in good standing will receive an individual voting link to the email address listed on their ShulCloud accounts when the election opens. The link will allow each member in good standing to cast a single vote per board position. While there will be no write-in option, there will be a “None of the Above” option for each position if the voter is unsatisfied with the candidate(s).

  
Who can be nominated: Any “member in good standing” may nominate any other “member in good standing” (including yourself) through completion of THIS FORM. 

Who can vote: Every full DC Minyan “member in good standing” is entitled to one vote per position in the election. Associate members are not considered full members. 

 
What is a “member in good standing”: A member in good standing is someone who is at least 18 years old and up to date on any membership dues billed to your account (other than dues billed in the immediately preceding 90 days). This does not preclude voting by those with different payment schedules or excused requirements to pay dues based on financial hardship. If you have any questions about your current membership status, reach out to exec@dcminyan.org or finance@dcminyan.org.

What is the Nomination and Election Committee: This committee is responsible for developing and adopting policies and procedures for the nomination and election of candidates including any factors and qualifications it will consider in evaluating candidates. Committee members will conduct interviews of all candidates who accept a nomination. Per the bylaws, this year's Nominations & Elections Committee is composed of current Board members, Lauren Contard, Deena Fox, and Chana Solomon-Schwartz, and two members in good standing who are not on the Board, Ben Rosenbaum and Dena Roth.

How are candidates selected: The Committee will assess candidates’ eligibility based on the factors and qualifications for the position that the Committee has established, and which will be made available to candidates ahead of interviews. The Committee’s selections of candidates for the ballot will be announced two weeks prior to the election.
