At the AGM this February 8th we'll be holding elections for the following positions, per our charter. You may nominate people in this thread, or at the meeting. The nominee must attend the election, or confirm their willingness to accept the nomination in writing to the elections officer. (Stephen Deneka)

* Competition Ambassador (Autoslalom) - Mark Bovey
* Competition Ambassador (Time Attack) - John Paczynski
* Competition Ambassador (Rally) – Trevor Hancher

Normally the elections officer doesn't nominate anyone, but I made up that position anyway, so here we go:

I nominate Joe Trinidad, President for life (or at least another two years)
I nominate Laszlo Toth to continue his wonderful work as Secretary
I nominate Mark Bovey to continue as Autoslalom Ambassador
I nominate Trevor Hancher to continue as Rally Ambassador
I nominate Scott Murfin to continue as Race Ambassador

John Paczynski is looking to do different things this coming year, and is willing to make available the Time Attack Ambassador role. Thanks for the great job you've done for SPDA, John!

I nominate Gary Wood AND Will Parsons for the position of Time Attack ambassador

Tashko doesn't see his available time increasing much and he'll help where he can, but in the meantime, the Social Director position can be added to the list of available positions at the AGM!

I nominate Michelle Nguyen, Jonathan Kwok and Peter Wong! (The Pub Night regulars attending the AGM who aren't already on the executive committee.)
