Don’t Miss
these
Great
Demos
Those of you who have seen some of my recent Facebook posts
know that there are lots of things going on in the Sandahl
household.
Our family has become increasingly connected with the children
of the Mexican orphanage where we’ve had many happy visits
over the years and have been involved in the adoption process.
In addition, my husband has been given (and already started) a
brand new job opportunity - in Philadelphia…!! Needless to say,
I’ll be joining him there in the not-too-distant future. With that said,
this may be one of the last opportunities I will have to speak to
Continued on pg 2
Continued from pg 1
you as your State ICES Rep.
Since I’m looking at a move to PA, I will not be seeking another term as your Rep. I have enjoyed seeing
everyone at our meetings (and was JUST getting to learn everyone’s name..!!). It has also been a great
experience to learn about the inner workings of ICES, by attending the Midyear Meetings. Several weeks
ago, I was fortunate to be able to tour the hotels and convention center in Mobile, and I think you’re really
going to enjoy it.
If I don’t get the chance to do this in person, I would like to thank everyone who has attended over the past
two years. Special thanks go to Cindy, Vincent, Melissa and Karen for keeping everything in good working
order. Having their help has made this job so much easier.
I hope you give the next Rep the same welcome and support that you’ve shown to me.
Thank you all, again…..
Heather

the business meeting
All current members in good standing may vote in this election. Ballots for live voting will be given out at
the Day of Sharing. Anyone who wishes to vote in this election, but can not attend, may do so by either
absentee ballot or by proxy vote.. If you have received the printed version of this newsletter in the mail, you
will see those forms printed on the back of the enclosed Day of Sharing registration form. Those who have
received this newsletter by email can print a separate page containing only the absentee ballot and proxy form.
If you are going to attend the Day of Sharing, DO NOT use or fill in either the absentee form or the
proxy form. These are only to be used by those members who will not be at the Day of Sharing.
The absentee ballot is provided for those who, even though they can not attend the meeting, feel that they wish
to support the announced candidate. If you want to reserve your vote until any other candidates come forward,
you may do so using the Proxy form. This form is to be given to someone whose opinion you trust, that will
cast your vote for you live at the meeting.

methods of filling empty positions.
ICES Proxy Format

your voting rights to another member. This designated member will vote in your place on matters requiring a vote at the membership

proxy has been assigned, the person carrying it may vote in any manner they choose. YOUR PROXY SHOULD ONLY BE ASSIGNED TO
SOMEONE YOU TRUST WHO IS OF LIKE MIND.
