SBRA Upcoming Board Elections for 2022

    Elections for all 2022 SBRA Officers and Directors
    *NEW online voting will take place from
    November 4, 2021 through November 10th, midnight.

    Please consider helping SBRA and volunteering to participate as a board member for 2022.

    The nomination committee will reach out to the membership to let you know how you can help SBRA as a board member. If you are interested in participating as a board member, you can also contact them directly at: nomination_committee@SBRAweb.org

    There are 11 Officer and Director Positions that need to be filled for 2022.
    ● President
    ● VP Operations
    ● VP Administration
    ● Treasurer
    ● Secretary
    ● Advocacy Director
    ● Social Director
    ● Membership Director
    ● Education & Safety Director
    ● Ride Director
    ● Webmaster Director

    Since this is an election, the fact that a current Board member may wish to run again should not prevent anyone else from running for the same position.

    Serving as a Director, Officer or Chairperson does require a commitment of time and effort (two Thursday evenings per month) but, without members willing to serve, the Club cannot survive.

    If you would like more information about a particular board position please feel free to contact the current board volunteers.
    The following link is to the list of board positions and email address to contact them.

    SBRA Constitution Article IV, Section 3:

Those nominated shall be candidates at the November meeting. In addition to the nominations thus made, nominations may also be made from the floor at the October and November meetings by Members in good standing.

    *NEW The following amendment to the Constitution of the Suffolk Bicycle Riders Association was put forth for deliberation and voting at the September 3, 2020 Zoom SBRA General Meeting.
    It was passed by the Membership and will be implemented for this year's elections.

    Article IV: (prior to September 3, 2020)

Each Officer shall serve the term of one (1) year, or until his successor is elected, except as specified in Article V of this Constitution. At the expiration of his term, any Officer may be re-elected. No Member shall be entitled to hold more than one office at the same time. In the event that a tie would result from the voting of any office, a new election shall be held at the same meeting, upon an entirely new ballot, in an endeavor to dissolve the tie.

    Amended Article IV: (Effective September 3, 2020)
