2014 LSBA Nominations

[BOBSTER]

The date for nomination forms has passed with only 2 forms being turned in. From what I have heard, there were some good names put on the forms.

I would like to take this time to let you know that my name will appear on the Vice President spot and would appreciate your vote. I have been a member of the LSBA for over 2 decades now, and been active within the LSBA now for at least 7 years with being the Region 77 Rep for 4 of those years.

Whenever the election ballots come out, I hope that everyone takes the time out to fill out the ballot and send it in with your choice to help lead the EC. You will be allowed to vote on each position even in each Region for the Reps. If there is not anyone running for a position, then I encourage you to write a candidate in the spot that you think would be a good choice and wants to be part of the EC.

The LSBA EC really needs some good individuals to help continue Preserving and Promoting Bowhunting in Texas.

Thank You,
Bob Kana

Good deal Bobby

Does anyone know when the ballots will be mailed out?

I'm interested in a rep spot this year, but didn't see the ballot this time around.

And you have my vote

Thanks for all your work with the LSBA over the years.

We are working on the details of the election.....We did have a nomination form in the most recent magazine; however, we literally only received two forms returned to us. And they did not cover all the spots that are open.

In order to do the election as soon as possible, the plan is we will do a special mailout to LSBA members, containing a cover letter and an election ballot. We will strongly encourage write-in votes, especially to cover open positions for which no nominations were received. There are also a couple of rep positions open due to resignations, and someone will need to be appointed to serve out the remainder of these terms (=2014). Therefore the ballot will also provide a space for members to indicate they wish to be considered for appointment to these positions.

The official letter and ballot will be sent to members via US Mail. We will also email the same info to all members for whom we have an email address on file. The purpose of the email is to reinforce/remind about the election process, and hopefully help us obtain more responses. I'll post a copy of the info here on the LSBA website too. Members will be asked to return the ballots via US Mail or by scanning and emailing them to us.

All who wish to run for office, whether they are on the ballot already or are conducting a write-in effort, will be encouraged to "campaign" in a thread here on LSBA forum.

So that's the basic plan. I am working on the logistics of doing the mailout, so we can determine what the exact timing of everything will be. We hope to get the ballots out in a few days, and complete the election by mid-February.

Stay tuned for more details.......and if you would like to help run LSBA please consider running for office!


Bob Barnette
President, LSBA

Rod, Thanks for stepping up to help lead the Association. Which Region are you now living in. The Regions go by the first two digits of your zip code. Like Bob Barnette mentioned, there are several open spots on this years ballot.

Also, thank you for your vote,

Bob Kana
TBBR Chairman

[Ronny]

I think I'll run as a write-in for 75.
You got my vote Bobby
And I'll write Rod in also

78

We are just outside of Marble Falls.

I'm thinking an email to members might get a better (and faster) response.
I check my mail at the post office at least once a month whether it needs it or not!

Thanks Ronny!

Ronny Strickland for 75 (Write In)
Rob Buvens for 78 (Write In)

Is there a list of EC members? How many positions are there in each region? I'd like to help out as much as I can but I wouldn't even attempt to run against someone that has held a position for several years unless I thought I could do a better job.

My name is Dena Kana and I am running for LSBA President. I would truly appreciate your vote. Hunting and bowhunting are a lifestyle for my family. I eat, sleep and breathe bowhunting and the LSBA is extremely important to me. I hold and value the LSBA and the members near and dear to my heart. I was unable to devote as much time to the LSBA in the last couple of years because I changed jobs and my son graduated from high school. I now have the time to devote to the LSBA again. I have served as Membership Chairperson since 2006 and served in that position for six years. I have also served as Banquet Chairperson or Co-Chairperson for five years, Treasurer for three years, President for two years and Past-President for one year. I was also an active IBEP Instructor for several years and have held Pro-Staff positions for Bass Pro Shop, Sticks N Limbs Camo, Carson Optical, Bullseye Archery, Parker Bows and Gold Tip Arrows. I have been awarded the LSBA Meritorious and inducted in to the Bowhunting Hall of Fame.

It would be an honor to serve the LSBA members again as President. I would appreciate your vote. If you have any questions, suggestions or complaints, please feel free to contact me at 409 739-2630 or denakana@gmail.com.

Even if positions are running unopposed, please exercise your right as a LSBA member to vote and let your voice be heard!!

Just to clarify, This is the 2013 EC not the names on the ballot. Many of these positions are open now. When Bob Barnette post up the official ballot, it will show the open spots.
