NAMI Dane County conducts elections each year in conjunction with its Annual Meeting. Each NAMI member in good standing is entitled to vote. Good standing means your membership dues are current and paid.
This year, there are two (2) candidates that can be elected to serve three-year terms for seven (6) board seats. The Board can have up to 15 members; there are 10 current members. Two current board members’ regular terms will expire and their seats come up for general election: one member has served two terms and cannot seek re-election; the other has served a single term and may or may not seek re-election.
Election results will be reported at the March 26, 2019 Annual Meeting. Results will also be posted on www.namidanecounty.org/voting/.
Additionally, the Board is proposing a change to Section 3: Mission Statement of the current bylaws, which reads: NAMI Dane County, Inc. is a Wisconsin non-stock corporation that is dedicated to supporting and empowering everyone affected by mental illness. We commit to eliminate stigma and facilitate recovery through education, support, advocacy and outreach.
