Do you envision yourself as a leader? Do you know someone who is a devoted member of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and would enjoy contributing even more?
The chamber's Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for its Board of Directors vacancies for 2009. Directors are elected each year through a single-slate ballot. The committee will present a roster of candidates to the board, which will review the nominees and appoint the new directors, who will serve three-year terms.
Board member duties include providing leadership, legislative advocacy and information regarding emerging issues in the community, as well as regularly attending the board meetings, which take place from 7:30 to 9 a.m. on the third Wednesday of each month at the chamber.
Board members also are expected to participate in all of the chamber's special events, such as the Annual Business Awards Dinner, Charity Golf Tournament and State of the City Luncheon.
If you are interested in a director position, or if you want to nominate someone, please contact the chamber by Aug. 21. If a member wishes to add his or her name to the ballot, a petition with the signatures of 30 qualified members must be submitted by Aug. 28.
The 39-member board includes five ex-officio directors who do not vote and Ted Owen, the president and CEO of the chamber. The board represents all factions of the local business community, including hoteliers, family-owned businesses, corporations, educational institutions, hospitals and civic agencies.
