To All Members of the Syrian American Club:
 
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the upcoming election for the members of the Board of Directors (hereinafter the “Board) of the Syrian American Club, Inc. of Houston, Texas (hereinafter the “Club”) and to encourage you to participate in that election.
 
The election will be held during the General Assembly meeting that will take place at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 11, 2016 at Al-Sham Center, which is located on 5729 Winsome Avenue, Houston, Texas 77057.
 
Please note that no nominations will be taken from the floor during the upcoming General Assembly meeting.  Instead, a mechanism has been put in place that will allow all active members of the Club to submit nominations ahead of time as outlined hereunder.
 
The relevant requirements, qualifications, and procedures for the upcoming election are as follows:

  1. In order for a member to be eligible to nominate or be nominated for the Board, or to vote for any Board member at the upcoming election, that person must be an active member of the Club, which means that he or she cannot be delinquent on the payment of membership dues. If you have any questions with relation to your membership status, you may contact Susan Malas at (713) 266-5577 or email syrianamericanclub@yahoo.com.
  2. The minimum age of a Board member is twenty-five (25) years of age. 
  3. Please send your nomination, using the attached Nomination Form, to the Club’s Secretary, Judy Sultan, c/o The Syrian American Club, P.O. Box 571954, Houston, Texas 77257; or via email to syrianamericanclub@yahoo.com. When doing so, you are requested to include a brief biography of the nominee and the name of two references for the nominee. Your nominations must be received by no later than December 4, 2016, to be considered.
  4. Self-nominations are acceptable.
  5. Once the Club has a list of all the nominees, the Club will prepare a list of those nominees and a form on which the members can cast their votes.
  6. All Board members shall be elected by a majority vote. In case of a tie, a re-balloting shall be required only for the specific position.  If another tie decision is reached the presiding Chair shall cast the decisive vote.
  7. A member entitled to vote may cast his vote in person, by absentee vote, or by proxy.  Absentee vote or vote by proxy must be signed by the active member, and must be received by the Club prior to the December 11, 2016, meeting.
 
We look forward to seeing all of you at the upcoming General Assembly Meeting.
