The BCCA Bylaws, Article V, Sections 4 D & E, state “Each member may nominate a candidate for officer and director positions by signing a document that is sent to the recording secretary by a date to be determined by the board each year (April 15, 2025). The name of a candidate who receives nomination signatures from five percent of the members in good standing shall appear on the ballot.

Nominations for each office shall be submitted as a separate document.
A nomination document may contain the signatures of more than one member.

The nominating committee shall verify that each candidate meets the requirements for the position for which nominated and shall secure from each candidate a written consent to serve if elected.”

The BCCA membership number currently stands at 543 voting members, so 27 signatures (5%) are required to support each petition. All additional nominations should be emailed to Karen Norteman, Recording Secretary, webmonkey@bcca.us.
