Election season
As far as I'm concerned, the most pivotal election of this season was decided on Saturday night at MVK's second annual general election.
I assumed that either I'd be elected president again, or I'd have to accept the director at large position. However, I instead took the vice-president nomination.
Now, I'm vice president, which is actually pretty good. I'm still involved, but I don't feel like I'm responsible for everything in the organization. Congratulations to R. as the president, G. as the treasurer, g. as the secretary and the old and new people serving as directors at large, as well as M. as the new ombud position.
Furthermore, my worst case scenario was that there wouldn't be enough interest to form a new board and the organization would fail due to lack of interest. Instead, the system worked. We had an election, resulting in a new board with a mix of old and new people, as it should be. The organization has proved robust enough to last another year. This is exactly what I hoped would happen when MVK was founded in September 2007.
