BOD Election

NAUI Board of Directors Election

Each year you, NAUI’s instructor members, have the opportunity and the responsibility to select those of your fellow members who will serve you on our Board of Directors. NAUI is unique among training agencies in this respect. You have a voice in your association and its future through our Board of Directors, whose members have been placed in their position of responsibility by your vote.

This year there are three seats to be filled. Two of the seats are for four-year terms and one is for a three year term. There are seven candidates standing for these positions and the two candidates receiving the most votes will be seated for four year terms while the candidate receiving the third most votes will be seated for a three year term.

All of the candidates are asked by the Election Committee to furnish a short biosketch and a brief position statement. The statements are published in Sources, on NAUI's website, and with the ballots. This is your opportunity to educate yourself about your fellow members who are standing for membership on the Board.

The NAUI Board of Directors is your voice in establishing NAUI's policies and long range goals. Take this opportunity to inform yourself, and then vote for the candidates who you believe will be the best persons to work with our other Board members to guide our Association toward the future.

We urge you to study all the information, acquaint yourself with the candidates and their positions, and vote for your considered choices. Ballots must be returned no later than November 25, 2008. Persons eligible to vote who have not received their ballot by November 1 should contact NAUI HQ and request another ballot.

You may be receiving personal mailings from these candidates, paid for by them. You may also receive mailings from or wish to vote for write-in candidates. There are spaces on the ballot if you wish to vote for any such persons. Again, your vote is extremely important. Vote for only three (3) people. 

Members must return ballots to the independent accounting firm to be received by November 25, 2008 for verification and tallying of the results.

The three newly-elected members will take office in January 2009 and will be formally introduced at the annual NAUI Board of Directors meeting.

According to Article II, Section 1 of the NAUI Bylaws as stated in the NAUI Standards and Policies Manual, 1996 Edition, Voting Members are defined as follows: Voting Members. All members under this section must be eighteen years of age or older. They shall have the right and privilege to vote on any matters as called for in these bylaws, and to hold office as a Director of the Association.

Active Instructors. These are members who have attained the certification status of instructor by completing the requirements then established by the Board to enable them to issue various levels of diving certification as may be provided by this Association and who may issue an Associate Membership to others.

Sustaining Instructors. These are members who have attained the certification status of instructor, but do not meet the requirements established by the Board to issue certifications and as may be further defined in the NAUI Standards and Policies Manual, or any document that might supersede that manual.
