FSP Director Election

The Free State Project needs a new Director. We also have an opening for Secretary, so if you are interested in this board position, think about if you are interested in being the Secretary. The Secretary position will be voted on by the board, this election is for one of two open Director slots.

If you have been an active volunteer for the Free State Project in an official capacity between March 1, 2006 and February 28, 2007, you will have the opportunity to vote on who will be the next person to join the Free State Project Board of Directors. For the purposes of this election, this means if you actually worked on behalf of the FSP during this period, you can have a ballot. Some examples: Organizing or volunteering at PorcFest 2006 or working on the organization of PorcFest 2007. Organizing or volunteering at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum. Making calls for the First 1000 program. Working at an FSP booth/table at an event. If you're not sure, feel free to ask.

The nomination and voter registration period will be from March 14, 2007 until March 20, 2007. Please submit your request to be a voter, along with a description of the volunteer activity you engaged in, to election@freestateproject.org.

If you would like to be a candidate, please submit your request to election@freestateproject.org with the word Candidate in the subject line. Only self-nominations will be accepted. Please note that to be a Director, a person must be a signed Participant of the Free State Project.

The ballot will be provided to all voters on March 21, 2006. Voting will be done via the Condorcet method. More information on the Condorcet voting method can be found at: www.freestateproject.org/archives/state_vote/voting_methods
