www.tanys.org Callboard - Volume XVII • Issue 2 • Fall 2020 Page12 Board Member Slate for 2021 As the current Past President of TANYS it is my duty to present the slate of officers who are up for election each year at the Annual General Meeting. In most years, this is voted on during that meeting on the last day of the annual TANYS Festival. During that time, we ask for nominations from the floor. This year since the Festival will be virtual, we will not be able to hold our general meeting in person so we are giving everyone a chance to present nominations “from the floor” by messaging us with any nominations before the Virtual Festival. Nominations must be emailed to info@tanys.org and dramamom@twcny.rr.com by October 20, 2020. Keep in mind any office can be contested. Please note that in accordance with our bylaws there can be anywhere from 3-5 trustees selected so if you ever considered joining the The TANYS Board this year is the time. Self-nominate yourself today for the two additional trustee spots.
