Get involved in your association by running for the DSA board of directors! To qualify, you must be a member in good standing. Submit a nomination petition signed by 48 DSA Class 1 Active members in good standing, along with a photo and brief written statement. The statement should be less than 400 words and include your goals, purpose for running, and career background. Anything over 400 words will be deleted from the printed statement. The statement will be included with the mail-out ballot. We encourage you to e-mail your photo and statement to rparrott@dsasd.org; however, the original petition must be turned in at the DSA before the deadline. Scanned or faxed copies of the petition will not be accepted.
Petitions must be returned before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 3, 2021. Candidates will be announced at the December 9th DSA member meeting, and ballots will be mailed out that week.
The Board of Directors has a responsibility for the organization’s operation, stability, and continuity, along with a fiduciary responsibility to the association and its members. Individuals who indicate a willingness to serve as a director should have full awareness of the obligations required. All directors must:
- Serve the full length of the three-year term.
- Commit to the association’s strategic plan, including the Mission and Value Statements.
- Avoid self-serving agendas.
- Keep aware of political issues affecting DSA members and public safety.
- Be attentive to the executive board’s activities to ensure there is no overstepping of authority.
- Attend board and committee meetings regularly. Three consecutive absences (unless due to department or association business, illness, or unavoidable absence from the county) from more than one-half of a board meeting in any four-month period is cause for removal.
- Participate in the community to develop and maintain a professional image for this association. You will be asked to attend community events on behalf of the association and should actively seek and build community relationships.
- Actively guide and contribute to assigned committees.
- Know your MOA and bylaws.
Submit a nomination petition signed by 48 Active (Sworn) DSA members in good standing with a photo and a statement of candidacy before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 3, 2021. Please contact the DSA at info@dsasd.org with questions.
