Dear Havurah Members,

As a follow-up to passing the new Havurah Bylaws related to governance structure at the June 5th Congregational Meeting, here is the Nominating Committee’s proposed slate of candidates for open Steering Committee positions.

The nominees are the following:

Co-President—Bill Kwitman
Vice President – Ken Lerner
Past President – Debbi Nadell
Treasurer – Janet Byrd
Lead: Limud (Education) – Lisa Cordova
Lead: Avodah (Spiritual Life)—Susan Brenner
Lead: Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World)—Chris Coughlin
Lead: Kehillah (Community)—Aaron Pearlman

If you would like to nominate a congregation member not listed above, please email Laura Ehrlich at laurae704@hotmail.com by 5:00 pm on July 5th. Laura will need the person's name, the role he or she is being nominated for, and a confirmation that the person is willing to serve, if elected.

On July 6th, 2016, you will receive an official ballot so you can vote on the slate of candidates. Each member of the congregation who is older than 18 can vote, though votes are limited to two per household. If you have provided Havurah Shalom with only one email for your household but wish to receive two ballots, please email Rachel by July 1st, at rachel@havurahshalom.org so she can add the additional email address to the list of members receiving ballots.

To be counted, your final votes must be received at Havurah Shalom by 5:00 pm, July 12th, 2016.  If you choose to print and mail your ballot to Havurah Shalom instead of voting online, please mail it ahead of time to ensure that it is received by the deadline.

Thanks to the Nominating Committee for their work on identifying leaders for the Steering Committee!
