[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM 2025-26 Election Ballot & Bios

[Michael Madden]

Hello FOSM Members:

Please see the attached FOSM 2025-26 Election Ballot of candidates for
Officers and Board of Directors.
Notice that Susan Gregory, Sam Beard, Sim Cook, and Byron Garner are not on
the ballot.
They have a second year to serve, of their two year term, and comprised
this year's Nominating Committee.
Thank you Susan, for Chairing this year's Nominating Committee!
Most of the candidates are incumbents, whose term has expired, but wish to
run for re-election.
Incumbent bios can be found on our website:
https://friendsofthesandias.org/board-of-directors/
For the four new candidates, Kerry Jones, Scott Dietrich, Cliff Giles, and
Laura Leon, see the attached bio sheet.
*To keep things simple,** if you are in favor of all candidates listed on
the ballot, and have no "write-ins", *
*then do nothing, and your vote will be counted 'FOR' all candidates
listed.*
The FOSM Annual Meeting of the Membership will be held Tuesday October 7,
2025 at 6:00 PM at the Tijeras Ranger Station.
If no 'write-ins' are received, a vote by members present at that meeting
will be taken to elect those names on the ballot by acclamation.

*Remember - Only current FOSM members are eligible to vote.*

If you wish to submit your vote electronically, please email your ballot to
info at friendsofthesandias.org no later than September 19, 2025.

If you wish to mail-in a paper ballot, please print the attached ballot,
and mail it according to the instructions therein.

We appreciate the contributions of our Officers & Board Members who are
stepping down at the end of September. Vice President Cliff Giles is
stepping down after serving for five years, and Treasurer Jeff Young is
stepping down after one year. Steve Roholt and Joe Meade are stepping down
as At-Large board members after serving for four and two years
respectively.

Kerry Jones, Scott  Dietrich and Laura Leon are new candidates. All others
are incumbents, with the exception of Cliff Giles who is stepping down as
Vice President and running for an At-Large position.
Respectfully,

Mike Madden, President
Friends of the Sandia Mountains
