Steering Committee Vote results

From a list of 13 nominees, the elected Steering Committee members are Chris Dansereau, Ken Dubey, Jim Norris, Pete O'Connell, and Joel Rosenzweig.  It was surely a difficult choice given the quality of the nominees.  Congratulations to all those selected as nominees, all those who voted, and the Steering Committee members themselves.

Steering Committee Nominations/Voting

As discussed at the Member Meeting, a Steering Committee is being created to help guide the club and Board.  The Steering Committee will consist of 3-5 members, nominated and elected by non-board members.  In addition to providing a direct conduit for all members' ideas and concerns to be heard by participating in Board meetings, these members will participate directly in the Grievance and Dispute Resolution process.  Nominations will be collected during the week of Jan 15 ending on Friday Jan 20 using the Survey Monkey link posted to the listserve.  Voting will be held the week of Jan 22, again using Survey Monkey.

Member Meeting January 15, 2012 at 10a

The annual New England Heli Crew meeting will be taking place on January 15, 2012 at 10:00 AM.  We will be meeting at the Walsh Engineering office at 227 Dedham St. Norfolk, MA.  Coffee and donuts will be provided.  The plan is to discuss NEHC related business as well as hand out some awards for 2011 and maybe even some prizes.

Steering committee: One of the things we are going to be discussing is the “board at large” which will be called the “Steering Committee.”  The steering committee candidates will be nominated by the NEHC members. A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 of the nominees will be voted on to the board.  The steering committee will meet with the executive board six times a year.  At the annual meeting we will discuss how members will nominate and select members, and how the steering committee will work and interact with the board.

This is a special award given out each year by the NEHC in memory of Bob Libby. Bob Libby was a young man who's life was tragically cut short in early 2010. At that time, Bobby Libby was one of the most talented up-and-coming RC Heli pilots in the northeast region and was looking forward to competing with the top RC pilots in the country. Not only did Bob have raw talent and huge potential for the sport, but Bob would also unselfishly & enthusiastically help others excel in their hobby. This award will be given out to a special person each year that embodies the Talent, Passion, Drive, Generosity of Spirit to others & to the hobby that Bob possesed.
