OCTAA is proud to announce the sixth General Assembly meeting to be held on Saturday, December 5 2009 from 2:00-5:00 p.m. at the South Coast Chinese Cultural Center located at 9 Truman Irvine, CA 92620. At this meeting, we will elect three (3) members for the Board of Directors. As described in OCTAA’s Constitution & Bylaws, two of the positions will be for two-year terms and one of the positions will be for one-year term to complete an existing member’s position who no longer lives in the area. All members are invited to participate and vote in person at the General Assembly Meeting during OCTAA’s Membership Appreciation/Kurban Bayrami event. Members may cast votes and speak to nominees from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Election results will be announced later during the event.
Open Nominations for THREE (3) Board of Directors
Effective immediately, OCTAA is looking for nominations for three (3) Board of Directors positions that will serve during the 2010-2011 term. The elected Board members will be responsible for the overall policy and oversight of the day-to-day operations of the President, executive officers, and subcommittees. The nominees must be members in good standing (i.e., paid membership through 2010) and Orange County residents.
Please identify candidates who are interested in serving on the Board of Directors or nominate yourself. Please send an e-mail to info@octaa.org by November 23, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. with the following information:
- Name of Nominee/Candidate;

The Election Committee will post the candidates’ photos and their statements of interest on the OCTAA’s website (www.octaa.org) and forward them to the members list via e-mail prior to the General Assembly meeting. The candidates’ information will also be available as hard copy handouts at the event.
General Assembly Election Details
The General Assembly meeting is open to all of the members of the Organization. However, in order to cast your votes, you must be a member in good standing (i.e., paid member through 2010) with OCTAA and a resident of Orange County. In the event that there is an insufficient number of candidates form Orange County, we will be accepting candidates from other counties (with current Board of Directors approval).
Following the election, the ballots will be counted and results will be announced by one of the Election Committee members. If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can send a written voter proxy with one of the members in good standing (click here to download a voter proxy).
