I can't find anywhere this info is posted. Given the importance of these elections and the new online voting system, reckon it needs to be readily accessible, so maybe pinned.Voting opens today.  

 

(If it has been posted before I apologise. Perhaps pin the original one.)

The Essendon Football Club will hold its 141st Annual General Meeting on Monday 15 December 2014, commencing at 7pm.  The meeting, which will be held at the Clocktower Centre, corner of Mt Alexander & Pascoe Vale Roads, Moonee Ponds, will deal with the annual financial report for the year ended 31 October 2014, appointment of auditors, Life membership awards, and election of directors.

BALLOT OF DIRECTORSHIP

This year the Club has received nine nominations for the two available elected positions for the Board.

In accordance with the club‘s constitution, a ballot will now be held to fill the two elected director positions available on the Board.

In order of appearance, as determined by lot, under the direction of the Returning Officer, the names of the nine nominees are:

 

John Sofarnos

Ron Gauci

Nick Raptopoulos

Jason Cunningham

Jo-Anne Albert

Bill Jennings

Paul Cousins

Catherine Lio

Anthony Donald

 

The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board for a three year term.

This year, at the approval of the Board and under supervision of the Club‘s Returning Officer, we are conducting an electronic voting process for the casting of the member ballot.

Voting will be available online via links on our website, commencing on Monday 24 November 2014 at 8.30am.  Voting closes at 6:00pm on Monday 8 December 2014.

make sure you hit submit when you vote. it is a bit misleading becuase you initially hit select and then it just sets but greys out the ticks, you actually need to hit submit again.

Paul Cousins sounds good.

Yep, have made my vote count.

 

Don't think it'll be enough to keep the AFL stooges out... but hey, here's hoping that EFC members have gotten a lot less complacent over the last couple of years.

I have yet to receive an email detailing this information. You would think the club would email this information to a member…

When I logged in it simply said “voting is now closed for this meeting”. Did I crash the system?

Busted for me too. Yay technology.

Try it again and if you still have issues, call the Computershare number they provide for help.

 

It took me a few goes to get in and vote.

Link is fine again

Yep. Working now.

Paul Cousins and Jo-Anne Albert for me.

Wanted to keep stability at board level so my remaining vote was either Paul Cousins or Catherine Lio. Would be happy for either to get in though as both sound genuine.

Thanks for that.

 

Couldn't find it on the site...?

 

Thanks for that.

it is on the front page (right hand side below the membership ad) but not as prominent and obvious as it should be

Voted for Lio and Cousins FWIW.

 

Really think we have the business heads there and miss the brightness, positivity and understanding of fans that they could bring.

 

 

Thanks for that.

I couldnt find it either. Thanks for the link. I voted for Katie and Paul

does anyone else get this feeling that most members are just going to go the Gauci option, because of profile etc?

 

let's hope not.

I don't know one person who's voting for them. I'd say there would be more people voting this time around than before and I don't think they'd be voting for him. I don't know who he is and I'd say I'm not alone in that.
