Call for Board Nominations

Dear ORANJ Members,

It is that time of year again to think of your organization and how you plan to help in the upcoming year.  We are looking for Officers to run our organization for 2026-2027.

Get involved by running for an Office.

We need candidates for the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.

To run for President or Vice President, you must have served on the Executive Committee previously, either by being an elected officer or by chairing a committee.
Anyone can run for Secretary or Treasurer.  We would like anyone interested in the Treasurer position to commit to 2 years.  Being Treasurer carries a lot of responsibility and commitment, but your rewards will be great.  Also, Officers can recruit and delegate duties to their committee members.

Some of the duties for each office:

President:

  • The President presides over all business and Executive Committee meetings; he/she also acts as a member ex officio of all standing and special committees and should attend these meetings whenever possible.

  • In conjunction with the Education Committee Chair, plan dates of Executive Committee meetings, business meetings and educational seminars for the term of office.

  • Plan the date and structure of the Annual Meeting, coordinating these plans with the Education Chair, the Vice President, the Treasurer, and the Executive Committee. The Annual Meeting is traditionally held two to four weeks after Labor Day; dates that conflict with religious holidays, pageants, and related professional meetings are to be avoided.

Vice President:

  • The Vice President assists the President in performing his/her duties, assumes the duties of the President in his/her absence, and shall complete the unexpired term of the President in the event of a vacancy.

  • The Vice President has a close working relationship with the President and must maintain an informed status of any and all issues regarding ORANJ in the event he/she must assume leadership of the Association.

Secretary:

  • Take minutes of all Executive Committee meetings, prepare copies and distribute to all members of the Committee.

  • Conduct official correspondence at the direction of the President and/or Executive Committee.

  • Be responsible for maintaining inventory of official stationery.

Treasurer:

  • Responsible for all monies and funds belonging to the association.

  • Pay all the bills by check or credit card as authorized by the president.

  • Chair the Finance/ Ways & Means Committee; assist in the preparing of all budgets for individual committee.

  • In Conjunction with the Membership Committee, prepare a list of paid registrants for education meetings and distribute to both President and Education Chairperson.

Nominations are due by 9/15/2026

If there is only 1 candidate for each office there will not be an election, but will win by default.

If there is more than 1 candidate for any office, the elections will be held from 9/16-9/30.

The new executive board will be announced early October.

The deadline date for the call for nomination submissions is 09/15/2026.
