This is the candidate nomination thread for the election to the position of CSA Chief of the Army.

The CoA’s handle all military tasks for their respective military groups, participate and vote in Cabinet decisions, and perform other duties as assigned by the Club President. Each CoA shall have veto power over all Cabinet decisions. The veto may be overridden by a unanimous vote of the remaining Cabinet members.

Regarding the terms of the Chief of the Army position:
3.3.3. Terms of Office. Each Cabinet member will serve a term of two (2) years. Any Cabinet member may succeed himself in his elected office once, for total of four years. After the second term, the member must wait for one election period to run again for the same seat.

3.3.4.1.5 Dates for nominations and voting are to be set by the Election Committee and published in the Mason-Dixon Tavern, with notice also in the Smoking Room. A maximum of one week should be allowed for nominations, two weeks for campaigning, and one additional week for voting.

Verification of nominations will be by using the email address the nominator uses to submit the nomination. The email address that the nominator uses must be the email address of record in the Department of Records. The Election Committee will attempt to contact, via email, any nominator whose email address is different than the Department of Records in order for that member to have to opportunity to correct the address held in the Department of Records.

It is requested that commands inform their members at every level in order to ensure the best possible participation.

Again, please stick to the procedure that was posted.
1st - Get a statement from Scott that he wants to run at all.
2nd - Get a fellow CSA member to supports your nomination.
3rd - Send Scott's statement, your nomination and the statement your nomination being supported by a fellow CSA member to the complete committee.
Only then the nomination can be accepted.

It's the least to ask Scott if he wants to run as, he does it already for 4 years and so it can't be taken for granted that he wants to continue.
