Board Nominations
Bald Head Association (BHA’s) Bylaws describe two paths for individuals to run for election to the organization’s Board of Directors. The first path is through the Nominating Committee, which traditionally meets throughout the summer months to identify prospective candidates. The Committee then informs BHA’s current Board of Directors of the candidates at its regular September Board meeting. More information about the candidates will be available in upcoming Compass e-bulletins, as well as in the Annual Meeting packet that will be mailed in December.
If someone wants to be considered by the membership for Board service and is not identified through the Nominating Committee process, BHA’s Bylaws identify an alternative path through self-nomination: “A petition signed by a minimum of fifteen (15) individual property owners, advocating a nominee for election to the Board of Directors, may be submitted to the Association office no later than sixty (60) days prior to the annual meeting and this candidate or candidates shall be added to the final ballot which will be mailed to the membership no less than thirty (30) days in advance of the annual meeting.”
The 60-day deadline for receipt of petitions this year is November 26, 2024. Of course, that date is the final deadline, and submissions can be sent any time prior to the deadline. Note that all Board candidates are required to complete a biography/questionnaire and send a headshot photo for publication in BHA’s Annual Report and on BHA’s website to help inform members of candidates’ credentials. With a tight print deadline, all biography/questionnaires and photos must be received by 4:00pm on December 2, 2024.
All who are interested in submitting a petition can drop it off at the office (111 Lighthouse Wynd) or call the office at 910-457-4676 x21 with questions.
