Re: A dilemma
Body:
Kathy and Randy:
I would say that the answer to
your dilemma is:
One of you has to run as the
candidate, but that one can in effect
"contract" with the voters, as a
"campaign promise," to appoint the other
as alternate whenever necessary.
Just checked the DNSO bylaws and
there is no explicit obstacle to either
one of you appointing the other
as your alternate.
There is, however, a problem with
what you call a "shared" position:
Section 2
(g) No more than one officer,
director or employee of a corporation or other
organization (including its
subsidiaries and affiliates) shall serve on the NC at
any given time.
Also, it does make a difference
whether Kathy is running
and promising to make Randy
alternate when necessary,
or whether Randy is the candidate
and is promising to make
Kathy the alternate. You two are
not identical twins....voters
have a right to know which one
they are voting for.
One of you has to be "the"
candidate and take responsibility
for the position.
In terms of one person offering
support and advice to the other,
well of course that's possible
and desirable. It would happen in any
event, no? You don't need any
permission from anyone to do that.
