Well...
I would be interested in knowing whether anyone (that would be you, Edgar) had bothered to ask the nominees if they are interested in being nominated for these positions. I don't want to nominate someone for a position they aren't interested in doing. Some people have busy lives already. I note for the record that Ken has been nominated and hasn't chimed in yet. Has anyone asked him if he's OK with this? I'm OK with it, but it would have been nice to have been given a heads up first.
Assuming these people are OK with being nominated...
My nominees are:
President: Fred Macdonell (sntcruzan)
Vice President: Edgar Ortega/Kenneth MacNeil (EdgarOrtega/Kenthebugguy) shared
Secretary/Archivist: Lony Meyer (BayLee)
Treasurer: Rachel Edler (Arachnocat)
Amb./Edu.Spec.: John Troupe/Laurie Osborne (uglykid2/llamamama)

I respectfully excuse myself from the nomination of Co- Vice President. Thanks to everybody who nominated me, I appreciate it very much. I absolutely believe Edgar to be far more qualified for Vice President of SF Bats and I heartily endorse him!

Nominations are just nominations. They may be declined at any time. Ken is a busy guy, which is why it was suggested that the VP slot be shared.
It's not like another part-time job, though. :D
As Fred pointed out, most of these positions are already being performed by nominated individuals. This just makes it a little more official and organized.
Keep those nominations coming! Let's keep the nomination period open until Christmas, and we'll take an official vote after then.

Sorry to burst your bubble there Warren, but even with all the world domination there is still one very powerful forum out there that the scabies won't get their hands on.
Ha ha try to scare us, eh! We are SF BATS!!! California’s number one Tarantula Society.
Oh, by the way the $200,000,000.00 are not in Edgar’s procession yet, as he owes me a poem. You will need to talk to me first...... muahahahahaha

The nomination period is now over!
I spoke with John who humbly declined any VP nominations, leaving the nominations of Co-VPs Kenneth MacNeil and myself. I will be happy to accept the co-VP chair and work with Ken and and the other officers to make this group all that it can be. I know John would have done a great job, and I'll try to do as good a job as I know he would have.
At the same time, I decline all other nominations in my name. This means that all of our officer positions have been filled and decided on nominations, alone!
John Troupe "Uglykid2" and Laurie Osborne "llamamama" shall share the seat of Ambassador/Education Specialist, while Fred Macdonell "sntcruzan" will continue as our, now, official President.
Things worked worked out well, and your nominations, alone, decided our 2009 officers without needing a formal vote! Very cool.
I give you the SFBATS Official Officers for 2009!
President: Fred Macdonell
Vice President: Kenneth MacNeil and Edgar Ortega (shared)
Secretary/Archivist: Lony Meyer
Treasurer: Rachel Edler
Ambassador/Education Specialist: John Troupe and Laurie Osborne
So. Cal Representative: Francisco Torres
SFBATS has OFFICAL Officers! Woohoo!
Congratulations, everyone! You guys are awesome! I know we picked the perfect people, and I know this year will be a big year for SFBATS!
...sorry Warren...
