On Wednesday, December 19, 2007, the Cauldron Leadership group met in the conference room at the K.C. Wizards offices. The main topic of discussion was creating Cauldron Bylaws and discussion of the upcoming Leadership elections.
The Cauldron Bylaws were completed and will be posted on the Cauldron web site.
As for the elections, here is what came out of the meeting:
It was decided that positions on the Leadership Group would be for a 2-year term, with re-election available. We will hold elections every January. Each year there will be 3 positions up for election, and the 3 positions will alternate every other year. This is to avoid a situation where we end up with an entirely new Leadership Group, thus needing to “re-invent” the wheel each January. The following positions will be up for election in January of 2008:
1. Cauldron President (incumbent – Robert Houghton)
2. Game-day Officer (incumbent – Matt Spoonmore)
3. Communications Officer (incumbent – Stu Bentley)
The election will be held as follows:
Shortly, there will be instructions for nominating people to the various open positions. All incumbents are eligible for re-nomination/election as we do not have imposed term limits. The Leadership Group will tally the nominations, generating the top 3 nominations for each open position. Each of the top 3 nominated people will be contact to verify their willingness to accept the nomination. If someone refuses the nomination, the next highest nominated person will be contact. This will continue until we have 3 validated nominations for each open position.
We will then hold an open meeting (at a time and location to be announced) in mid-January for the Cauldron members to vote on the three positions. Everyone will be presented with the three nominations for each open position, and the will write down their choice for each position. The votes will be tallied and a winner will be announced. Absentee voting will be allowed if pre-arranged.
As a side note, the Leadership Group decided to add three new positions to the Leadership group:
1. Youth Liaison (appointed position). This will be a High School or College student identified and agreed upon by the Leadership Group. This person will be invited to attend and participate in all Leadership Group activities and meetings.
2. Tailgate Liaison (appointed position). This will be a representative of the group organizing the tailgates, identified and agreed upon by the Leadership Group. This person will be invited to attend and participate in all Leadership Group activities and meetings.
3. Past President. This will be held by the previous Cauldron President. The idea behind this position is to help with transition and the add some consistency between the Leadership Group and the Wizards Front Office / the Cauldron

Thanks,
Robert Houghton, Cauldron President
