Open PFA Presidency Positions

Dear PFA,

We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Amber Gunnell for all her hard work in getting our organization up and running. She has worked countless hours on the PFA and has given all of us a strong base to continue on with this great work. We hope the best for her in all that she does. Thank You Amber for serving the PFA, you'll be missed.

Our efforts are going to focus on the new tasks at hand. We now have two positions to fill. We have both the Vice President and PFA Rep positions open for nominations at this time.

Our Bylaws give us an explanation as to how the office of President should be filled at this time.

Article 7 Section 7 States, Vacancies shall be filled as follows: In case of a vacancy in the office of president, the vice president shall become president and shall hold office for the balance of the term. In filling the vacancy, the vice president shall be entitled to continue in the presidency for the following term providing not more than one-half(1/2) of a full term as president has been served. The vacancy in the office of vice president shall be filled at the next PFA meeting by the voting body with a nomination and majority vote.In the interim, duties of the vice president shall be delegated by the president.


Christine Plummer our PFA Vice President is prepared to fill the position of President for the remainder of the term. According to our Bylaws we will be taking nominations for all positions in February with a vote in March.

Duties of the Vice President are:

a. Serve as a member of the PFA presidency,

b. Serve as Director of the Fundraising Committee,
c. Perform the duties of the office of president in the president’s absence or when the
President is unable to perform these duties, and
d. Perform other duties as assigned by the President or the presidency

Duties of the Parent Representative are listed as:

a. Serve as a member of the PFA presidency,
b. Serve as a member of the executive committee of the NCA Board,
c. Attend meetings of the NCA Board, NCA Executive Committee, PFA Presidency, and PFA
General Membership,
d. Report PFA votes, and represents the PFA membership as a whole in voting in any capacity
needed.

These are listed in our Bylaws at this time however, the role of the Parent Representative needs to be more clearly defined with NCA's Board. With changes that have occurred in resent weeks this position may need to be modified. Our hope is to meet with the NCA Board before the December PFA meeting so that whomever is in that position will know what their title in-tales.

Our hope is to have nominations for both open positions on Thursday, November 19th at our PFA meeting. We will then hold our next PFA meeting early in December to facilitate the PFA vote on these two positions. This will give possible candidates time decide if this is something they are willing to take on. At this point we have one person who has asked to have their name added for nomination for our PFA Rep. position.

If you are interested in either position please email us at ncapfa@gmail.com. We are looking forward to working with all of you to make the remainder of the year a great one. Thank You for your support.

Sincerely,
Christine Plummer PFA Vice President, JoLynn Morriss PFA Secretary, Julie Gilster PFA Treasure
