Greetings Members,
As I communicated at the Banquet, the recent attempted election for the third seat on the Board of Directors was unsuccessful due to an erroneous and untimely communication to the US Postal Service that we were no longer tenants at the location of our World Headquarters on Harriet Avenue in Minneapolis. This resulted in more than 85% of the ballots being received after the election deadline, effectively invalidating those ballots per our club bylaws as well as state law.
As many of you are aware, this is the second time this year that we have experienced disruptions in our mail service. To prevent further disruptions, we have opted to move our mailing address to a PO Box located at a US Post Office that can provide us with better access during evening and weekend hours. The new mailing address for the CRA is as follows:
Central Roadracing Association
PO Box 130426
Roseville, MN 55113
Many of you may have already received your ballot, as they were sent out on Tuesday, November 18th to all current voting members. Voting eligible members should cast a single vote for one of the remaining candidates or use the write-in space to indicate their single choice. A special election night will be held on December 2nd at the Richfield VFW to certify the special election results. Voting eligible members can either submit their ballot via mail or proxy (must be received by December 2nd) or can deliver their ballot in person on election night. The new ballot will indicate these same details.
The CRA Board will publish the results of this special election immediately following certification. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact anyone on the Board via the information located here: https://www.cra-mn.com/wordpress/contact#bod Thank you for your participation in ensuring the future of the CRA!
Most respectfully,
Troy Pierson – 2015 President
