NOTICE!! From February 16, 2008 through the 2008 National Election process, we will post info about KWVA folks who are running for National office. It was decided that the requirements for posting eligibility would be as follows, the candidate: Must be a National KWVA Member in good standing. * Must sign up to the KWVA Code of Conduct*, and:
* Criteria for these requirements can be found at the KWVA website: http://www.kwva.org |
LINKS TO CANDIDATE POSTINGS Links will be added as candidates request inclusion and qualify for posting. Postings are planned to officially begin after February 15, 2008, which is the last day allowed for candidacy submittals to the KWVA Nominations/Election Committee. Submittals to us for posting on the KWVA California website will be verified and subject to confirmation by the Chairman of the KWVA Nominations/Election Committee that their submittal was accepted. Candidates will be allowed another web page here, to include any further information they wish to post. On those pages they may add information they may wish to elaborate on or add to what will appear in The Graybeards Magazine. We will refer to that as the 'More Info Link'. It may be actually more than one page, or cover more than one subject. The objective should be to allow the candidate a little more room to acquaint the voter with their views and intent. Please note: Some KWVA folks in Texas have put up a website with goals similar to ours. You can check Chapter 270's site out at: http://www.kwvavoterinfo.org/ Their 'Rules Of Conduct' as expressed in their 'Purpose Statement' about what to include and more importantly; what not to include appear to be wise, thoughtful & fair. Unless and until we hear or see something that would change our mind, we will use them also in our acceptance process for including the 'More Info Link' information. |
