Save The Date: Annual GLTA Elections Are Coming Soon!
The GLTA is growing, with new players joining us at every tournament and with new tournaments joining the calendar every year. It is a great time to be part of the expansion of the GLTA! And what better way to bring your dedication and ideas to the GLTA than by running for a GLTA Executive Board position?
Two At-Large Board positions are up for election in 2023 to serve three-year terms beginning January 1, 2024. If you wish to self-nominate to run in this year’s election, please send an email to secretary@glta.net & president@glta.net. You will be provided with a form Statement of Interest to complete.
The following timeline will apply to this year’s election:
- Candidate Statements of Interest Due – October 1, 2023
- Candidate Statements of Interest Transmitted to Voting Members – October 5, 2023
- Voting Opens – October 8, 2023
- Voting Closes – October 29, 2023
- Election Results Announced – November 1, 2023
The Board is composed of five At-Large Directors who fill the positions of President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, Marketing Director, and Rankings Director. Formal positions of the all At-Large Directors will be finalized during the first GLTA Board meeting in 2024.
Serving on the GLTA Board is a volunteer activity. No compensation is provided, but partial reimbursement of expenses is available to attend two Board meetings per year (held at various locations worldwide). Board members typically dedicate approximately 6-8 hours of their time per week to Board activities, with increased participation during specific times of year. Experience and familiarity with the GLTA tournament software is helpful for all Board members but is not a requirement.
The GLTA is made up of member organizations that sanction tournaments worldwide. Each member organization is entitled to cast a single vote in GLTA elections. Our goal is to obtain 100% voting participation from member organizations. We encourage all GLTA players to reach out to their member organization leaders to provide feedback and ensure each organization votes.
If you have questions about the 2023 elections or serving on the GLTA Executive Board, please reach out to Matt Feinberg by email to secretary@glta.net.
