[APAC-Discuss] APRALO Elections 2016

Sun May 1 20:26:08 UTC 2016

Hi All,

I too support the process, and mentorship approach as suggested by Siranush. This will help groom new leaders. I also wanted to

a.       discuss if it would be useful to put a cap of number of terms a member is elected to 2 continuous terms, as is the general practice (please pardon my ignorance if this is already in place)

b.      get member's view on developing the process of putting together list of duties and accomplishments of Chair, Vice Chair etc., anyone who is up for re-election, from their previous term. This will serve multiple purposes: bring more transparency on activities, help people decide better if someone should be re-elected, and will help new members who are contesting and also mentees understand the role and requirements better.

Welcome thoughts on this.

Kind Regards,
Rahul Sharma

Thank you all for a really good discussion.

Yes, there must be a call for nominations.  And absolutely yes, we need volunteers and change.  That said, we also need a process - mentorship - so that more people can gain the kind of experience that makes us all effective in the role.  So for those who are putting themselves forward - terrific.

Thank you Marueen,
I appreciate if you can elaborate on the mentorship program and how to show interest for it.

Exactly Nadira..and it is why we are opening up for nominations for those who feel they can step up and lead.
At the same time the leadership team are offering mentorships for those who would like to shadow one of the team leaders for a year to "learn the ropes" for a future leadership role.
None of us took up a leadership role in our first or even second year of active At-Large engagement. Five years down the track, Im still learning. :)

+1 to Fouad, even if no one showed interest for the time being, but will help promote the continuation of the healthy practices of the current APRALO leadership and their sense of community engagement.

I believe the election process should be open whereby a call should be
send out to all of APRALO membership to see if newer people are
interested in the roles available. Given way and giving opportunity to
new is also a key aspect of effective and good leadership.

I would recommend that the positions be continuously announced on the
APRALO list and invite nominations and an election be carried out.
