The 2009-2010 HGS Board Election Has Begun!
On-line voting for the 2009-2010 HGS Board Election opened on April 6. Paper ballots were mailed before that, and should have arrived in your mailbox early in April. If at all possible, please vote on-line! Members who are eligible to vote, should have received an email with on-line voting instructions. This email also contains your ballot ID number, which is different from your username or password. Just to be clear, here are the recommended steps to vote on-line:
- Go to www.hgs.org and log in with your username and password.
- Open the voting instruction email (in a different browser window if you have web-based email) and click on the link in the email to take you to the ballot webpage. Keep the email open.
- Either copy-and-paste or type the ballot ID number from the instruction email into the ballot webpage where indicated.
- Follow the remaining directions on the ballot webpage to make your choices and submit your ballot. Be sure to choose two of the four candidates for Director.
Of course, you may cast your vote on the paper ballot. Just do so early enough that it will arrive on or before May 10, the voting deadline for either on-line or paper votes. If you would like to browse the qualifications of the candidates before going to the ballot, they are given below.
If you have have not received your on-line instruction email and/or a paper ballot, it might be because your mailing address and/or email address is incorrect in your on-line member profile. If you remember your username and password, log onto the website and update your profile, then call the HGS office (713-463-9476) or email (lilly@hgs.org) to have the paper ballot and email resent to the right addresses. Try to keep these calls and emails to the office to a bare minimum. This is a very busy time for them. In any case, please make every effort to vote on-line. It makes the tabulation process much easier.
