Some have served a single two-year term, offered their views and ideas, and then moved on. Others have been returned to office again and again by vote of their peers and have served passionately and actively for many years. All have made a worthwhile contribution and selflessly promoted the interests of all MACS members. Being nominated to stand for election to the board is not a long, convoluted process. It can be as simple as a member making his or her interest known to the MACS board or staff. If a qualified member has an interest in serving on the board, there is nothing wrong with that member nominating him or herself. There are, of course, established criteria for selection of candidates to the board ballot, but these are straightforward and practical. One is the requirement that candidates have been members in good standing for a minimum of four years, and have participated in at least two recent conventions. These requirements are to ensure that the candidate is actively engaged in the organization. At a minimum, candidates for director must be willing to attend three board meetings a year (one in conjunction with the annual MACS Convention), and contribute any other time that is necessary. Beyond their key role in setting the strategic direction for MACS, directors normally contribute based on their interest, expertise or sphere of influence. Each section of the membership (Service, Distribution and Manufacturing) is represented by four board members. Two seats from each section are up for election each year, and each director serves a two-year term. This mechanism is to ensure year-to-year continuity of programs and projects. A Nominating Committee is tasked with presenting a slate of two candidates for each available seat on the board. While this is the guideline, circumstances sometime dictate that fewer or more than four candidates are presented on the ballot to each section’s members. If, in the unlikely case that there is too large a field of candidates in any given year, additional criteria such as needs of the MACS Board for balanced representation (geographic, etc.) may be considered by the Nominating Committee, and some of the potential candidates may be placed on the ballot in a subsequent year. More often, however, the field of candidates is not so crowded and qualified candidates – whether self-nominated or nominated by others – are placed on the ballot. Each member in good standing has an opportunity to vote, votes are returned to the MACS CPA for counting, For Sale Twenty-year-old inventory of various a/c units: compressors, evaporators, condensers and lots of small parts.
