Seth, I would absolutely encourage anyone within the region to run for any office at any time. The competition keeps ideas flowing and energizes our work. While consensus is the preferred method, if people are not happy with leadership or think they can do a better job, then there is not a consensus. On 4/12/16 12:40 AM, Seth M Reiss wrote:
I echo Leah’s sentiments. I have been in NARALO from its inception and I have noticed that during the monthly call when the opening day of the nominations period is announced, a slate of favored candidates are presented in some manner. While perhaps not procedural infirm, it does seem to send a signal that may deter others from throwing in their hat.

Hello Leah
The nomination process is an open process. My nominations were driven by the fact that each of these individuals is not only dedicated but doing a stellar job on our behalf. Further even as a newbie still learning the ropes, I am familiar with the work of our North American representatives and their inclusiveness of underrepresented constituents within our region like Native Public Media. An important motivation for my nominations.
I welcome other NARALO regions to place forward nominations for our collective consideration.
To that regard, you have time to make your own nominations as the elections are still some time away.
All my best,
Loris Taylor
Native Public Media

Hello Lori and all:
This team has done tremendous work, they probably should continue and I have utmost respect for each one of them, but why does this feel a bit rushed and skewed in Chapters NA region representation?
