Election for 2025-2028 Board of Directors and Board of Trustees
 
On Wednesday, December 11, the membership will elect four Rotarians to serve on the Club's Board of Directors and one new trustee for the Beaumont Rotary Foundation.  The newly-elected will serve for a three-­year term beginning July 1, 2025.
 
The Nominating Committee selected qualified candidates who will appear on the ballot.  A sample ballot appears below and if you click on it, you can open a larger version that is more easily read.  The ballot shows the nominees for the two Boards, and we will be voting on December 11.
 
You must be present at the meeting on December 11 either in person at the Elegante or using Zoom through which you will cast an electronic ballot.
 
As you consider your vote, please remember that according to the Club bylaws, a person must have been elected to a 3-year term on the Board of Directors to be selected to serve as Club President.  Article 3, Section 4 reads:  ".. the president-nominee shall have been a director elected by the membership at some time previous to his or her selection."   In other words, you could be voting for a future club president!

President Michael Perez called the meeting to order and shared the head table with the following Rotarians: Invocation by Paul Koester, pledges to flags by Caralee Thompson, Introduction of guests by Farrah Severs-Young, and presiding over the program today was Dena Hughes. Brad Brown made an announcement about the Rotary Christmas Party for December 17th & encouraged members to purchase their tickets. Michael acknowledged volunteers for the Some Other Place Can Drive and the last Flag Project distribution. Volunteers are still needed for the Bell ringing on December 7 benefitting the Salvation Army.

The program today was the annual Vocational Excellence Awards, celebrating individuals who exemplify the “service above self” philosophy in their profession and daily lives. At least 11 individuals from mail carrier, restaurant manager, bank employees, LU employee, BISD employee, massage therapist etc were recognized and received certificates after being introduced by the Rotarian that nominated them.

The next Rotary meeting will be Wednesday, December 11 and the speaker will be Sarah Dupre spokesperson with TX-DOT.
