2012-13 Elective Office Openings Announced In accordance with the Seattle-King County Dental Society Bylaws, the Nominations Committee will meet in early December 2011 to formulate a slate for the 2012-13 Society year. The following leadership positions are open: o President-elect The president-elect will automatically become president in the year following the year in this position. The president-elect will be a member of the Budget and Finance and Program Committees as well as the Executive Council. o Executive Council – four (4) openings for three year terms. Executive Council members meet approximately 10 times a year and always in the evening with a meal provided. This is the governing body of the Dental Society, and it is an excellent way to participate in the organization. o Delegates to the WSDA—Up to six (6)* openings for three year terms This position represents the Seattle-King County Dental Society at the governing body of the Washington State Dental Association’s House of Delegates. Delegates must attend at least one—and ideally two— evening caucuses before each meeting of the House of Delegates. The
SOCIETY NEWS delegates must also plan to attend the Washington State Dental Association’s House of Delegates meeting (usually held from Thursday evening to Saturday noon in September). *The number of Seattle-King County Dental Society Delegate seats for the WSDA House of Delegates is determined each year based on membership as of January 2012; therefore, we do not know at press time how many seats will be open. This change in how the seats are allocated was approved by the 2005 WSDA House of Delegates. If you are interested in learning more about the duties of these positions or wish to be considered for one of the offices, please call Jennifer Freimund at 206-448-6615. We encourage your consideration of these open positions. There is a lot going on at the Society and we welcome your participation. We also thank all of our current volunteer leadership who give so freely of their time and talents on behalf of the Seattle-King County Dental Society.
We’re looking out for you.
