AAPG House of Delegates Election – 2016

AAPG House of Delegates Election – 2016

Each year some number of AAPG HGS area delegates to the AAPG House of Delegates see their terms expire come June 30.  New delegates must be elected and alternates also voted upon to fill vacancies as they occur.  Currently 30 delegate terms will expire on June 30, 2016.  Due to membership changes, 29 delegates plus alternates will be elected to replace those whose terms expire.  These delegates and alternates will serve from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.  HGS elects other delegates (and alternates) on staggered three-year terms.  There are 15 delegates whose terms expire in 2017 and an additional 3 delegates whose terms expire in 2018.

 

Candidates for AAPG House of delegates have these responsibilities:

·        Attend monthly AAPG HoD meetings as scheduled by the Houston delegation chairman.

·        Attend the annual HoD meeting at the ACE conventions from 2017-2019, Houston (2017), Salt Lake City (2018), and San Antonio (2019).

·        Alternate delegates will ascend to vacant delegate positions in the order of received votes.  In 2016 there are 34 candidates for 29 delegate positions. The highest 29 vote recipients will be delegates, the next 5 will serve as alternates.

·        Must be an active, current dues-paying AAPG member.  Current active HGS member status is encouraged.
