Dear parents:

It is time for HXGV annual election.  Currently we have two board member positions open along with PC chair open for re-election.  Now is the time to nominate candidates for these positions. 

According to school bylaw, “a candidate for a board trustee position can be a school member or non-school member, but shall be interested in the education of Chinese language or Chinese culture and shall be active in serving the community. Board trustees shall be nominated by any school member, and elected by general members’ assembly. Anybody you think is qualified for the position can be nominated.”  The nomination can be sent to the newsletter account. 

The nomination should include the following information:
1.       Candidate’s name
2.       Candidate’s current position in school (parent or teacher)
3.       Candidate’s contact information (phone number and email)
4.       Which role do you nominate the candidate to elect for (PC Chair or board member)?

The deadline for candidate submission is April 27.

Election process:

1.       Special notice will be sent out to collect candidate nominations.  Only the nominations through emails, which respond to newsletter account (newsletter.hxgv@gmail.com) , are valid.
2.       An email from newsletter account will be sent to nominated candidates to confirm their acceptance of nomination.  A confirmation email from the nominated candidates, along with their biography and headshot pictures, should be received by May 2.
3.       The candidates’ names and their biography (with headshot pictures) will be sent to all parents by May 4.
4.       Voting (based on registration record, one HXGV family has two votes) will be done either through hard copy ballot or through electronic ballot.  Details will be elaborated later in special notice.  The election results will be announced in all parents meeting on May 18th.
Election criteria:

The ballot for PC chair or board candidates will be counted separately.  The candidate with the highest ballot will become the PC chair or board members.

Best regards,

HXGV
