The Mycological Society of San Francisco
is an all-volunteer organization...
 
About 2% of MSSF members - just 2 dozen people - are doing 95+% of the tasks and planning that are needed for a vibrant and active club – if you want more activities, we need you to step up to help make it happen. Most committees could benefit from a few more hands to lighten the load

The MSSF bylaws define how elections are to be conducted.
The nominating committee reaches out to individuals who have been attending meetings and events, and those who have expressed interest in more involvement.
If you are interested and have not contacted a council member or the nominating committee, the bylaws have a provision for direct nominations by members:
Article V, section 5: Other nominations may be made in writing and will be considered valid if signed by five members of the Society and presented to the Secretary at any time up to the Annual Meeting [May 2025]...

As of April 1, 2024, a quorum = 75 people.
The bylaws state that if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, elections may be held by email.

Our online membership system has an elections module.

• Allows voting by members whose dues are current.
• The system shows if a person has voted, but does not track individual choices, only cumulative totals.
• Council will announce election results by June 15.
